Advanced study of the physiological responses to exercise, from the cell to the whole body. The effects of exercise training, extreme environments, and other challenges to homeostasis will be addressed. Students will be expected to have a strong working knowledge of basic exercise physiology principles.

In this course we will explore how footwear can affect biomechanics, energetics, injury risk and performance in various sports and activities of daily living. Topics include: shoe design, mechanical, subjective, biomechanical and running economy testing, minimalist and maximalist shoes, super shoes, prosthetics and robotic shoes.

Introduction to the mechanical properties of human muscle, and evaluation of the importance of these properties in human movement. Topics include: research methods used to describe these properties, and the role of modeling in understanding muscular properties and segmental motion patterns. Laboratory experience includes using a computer muscle model.
