This course will provide students with knowledge of multiple aspects of skeletal muscle physiology. The material will include information about the basics of muscle contraction, as well as integration of muscle activation, bioenergetics and contractile function. Special emphasis will be given to the mechanisms of muscle fatigue under a variety of conditions, and an understanding of how muscle physiology is altered by disease will be developed. Laboratory-based learning opportunities will be provided.

This one-credit, ten-module online course will provide students with foundational knowledge and skills to begin conducting research in real-world settings with communities. Upon completion of this course, students will have obtained a human subjects training certificate, compared and contrasted traditional vs. community-based research strategies, and gained valuable communication skills.
