Presentation and discussion of current research literature in exercise physiology. Critical evaluation of research questions, experimental design, data analysis, and interpretation emphasized. Prerequisite: undergraduate exercise physiology.

Journal club focused on the major areas of biomechanics and movement neuroscience. This is a required course for Kinesiology graduate students with a primary focus area in biomechanics or movement neuroscience. The course will include weekly discussions of seminal and recent research articles in the field.

This course will summarize the physical activity epidemiologic methods and study design. Students will critically review published epidemiologic papers and assess the validity of their design and their inferences. Additionally, the student will learn the role of meta-analytic methods in gathering evidence to guide public health guidelines and programs. Students will be introduced to the skills required for evidence synthesis, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses.

The key learning objective of this course is to develop students? critical thinking skills related to published research in the broad topic of physical activity and health. Students will learn how to read critically and dissect a published journal article, around issues of writing clarity, argument development, research design, analytical approaches, and developing ideas for future research projects.

This course for kinesiology graduate students discusses research study design, ethical conduct of research, and scientific writing, among other topics. The course is broad in scope to accommodate diverse research interests and levels of experience.
