Study of the structure and function of cell, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems in the human body. Integration and regulations of system function from an applied perspective through clinical applications.

Acute and chronic physiological adaptations to exercise stress. Topics include: metabolic, skeletal muscle, respiratory and cardiovascular function during exercise, body composition, the elite athlete, ergogenic acids, and performance. Includes labs on techniques to quantify human performance capacity.

Non-thesis option, independent research project. Oral exam based on the project required. (formerly Exercise Science)

Introduction to neuroscience emphasizing the control, sensation, and perception related to human movement. Topics include a general overview of issues in motor control and a review of Central Nervous System (CNS) organization; basic CNS building blocks underlying movement control and perception; application to the control of balance and locomotion in development, aging, and disease; mechanisms of brain plasticity in development, learning, and rehabilitation.

(formerly Exercise Science)

Introduction to mechanics and its application to human motion. Includes linear and angular kinematics and kinetics, mechanics of fluids, and elementary analysis of human motion.
