Statistical tools for scientific research, including parametric and non-parametric methods for ANOVA and group comparisons, simple linear and multiple linear regression. Emphasis placed on the use of dedicated statistical software.
Research design and methodology in environmental exercise physiology.
Techniques of in-lab exercise testing and result interpretation in healthy and/or diseased populations.
Techniques of field-based exercise testing and result interpretation in healthy and/or diseased populations.
Provides advanced content on research-based findings of how exercise alters biochemical function in skeletal muscle, the liver and adipose tissue. Prerequisite: HAEP graduate standing.
Physiological study of acute and chronic responses to exercise in diseased populations.
Principles of exercise physiology in extreme environmental conditions including extreme temperatures, hyper- and hypobarometric pressure, air pollution, sleep deprivation, and zero gravity. Healthy and diseased populations are studied.
Advanced research and principles of exercise physiology in extreme environmental conditions including extreme temperatures, hyper- and hypobarometric pressure, air pollution, sleep deprivation, and zero gravity. Healthy and diseased populations are studied. Prerequisite: ESS 640.
Development of skills in health promotion program design, implementation and evaluation. Specific emphasis may be placed on healthy and diseased populations in extreme environments.
Role of exercise/physical activity in the prevention, pathophysiology and treatment of chronic diseases. Hands on clinical exercising programming experiences.
A foundation course that covers 1) the structure and function of the cardiopulmonary systems; 2) exercise-related physiological changes of the cardiopulmonary system and their applications to exercise training; and 3) pathophysiological changes secondary to cardiopulmonary dysfunction and their effects on function.
Advanced study for students with specialized interest in a particular area of environmental exercise physiology. Prerequisite: advisor permission.
Independent research project, supervised by academic advisor. Over two semesters, students take 3-6 credits of thesis each semester to meet the 9 credit minimum requirement. If, at the end of the chosen two semesters the thesis is not defended, the student must continuously enroll in 1 credit until successful thesis defense. Prerequisite: second year standing.
High Altitude Performance Lab research supervised by HAEP faculty that falls outside the purview of Master of Science thesis work.
An opportunity for in-depth work at a site in the area of academic concentration. The experiences must meet standards of the department and the University. Prerequisite: advisor permission.
