Selected broad research topical area of student's
choice concerned with conceiving and carrying to
completion a research project. Each student will
have an advisor for the research project and
will present the findings to peers in a
colloquium. (Same as PE 5560.)




E S 5591. Biomechanical and Physiological Laboratory
Assessment/(3).S.
An introductory graduate course to provide
experiences in data acquisition and problem
solving through a variety of physiological and
biomechanical laboratory techniques; a basic
overview of sampling/recording techniques will be
presented.

Science/(3).F. 
Methods of acquisition, analysis and
interpretation of data most often encountered in
sport and exercise science will be included.
Emphasis will be placed on descriptive methods,
statistical methods and computer applications.
(Same as PE 5592.)




E S 5600. Survey of Sports Performance/(3).S.
This course is designed to acquaint the student
with a variety of non-Olympic, Summer and Winter
Olympic sports. An overview of each sport will be
presented by qualified instructors. Athletic
profiles including physical, physiological,
psychological and performance requirements will be
discussed. Typical training programs for each
sport will also be presented. Prerequisites: ES
2010 and 3450 or equivalent. Three hours lecture.
(Dual-listed with ES 4600.)




E S 5621. Exercise Physiology I: Cardiopulmonary and
Metabolic Aspects/(3).F.
A study of bioenergetics and an in-depth analysis
of the respiratory and cardiovasular responses to
acute exercise as well as an examination of the
adaptations observed in these systems as a result
of physical training, rehabilitation, or disease.
Prerequisite: ES 2010 or equivalent.




E S 5622. Exercise Physiology II: Neuromuscular and
Endocrinological Aspects/(3).S.
A study of the effects of exercise and training on
the neuromuscular and endocrine systems.
Examination of potential ergogenic aids on these
systems. Prerequisties: ES 2010 and ES 5621.




E S 5635. ECG/Exercise Test Interpretations/(3).S.
This class provides an analysis of
electrocardiographic concepts of the normal and
abnormal ECG. Topics will include rate, rhythm,
hypertrophy, axis determination, atrial and
ventricular arrhythmias, conduction defects,
myocardial ischemia, and myocardial infarction. In
addition, the use of ECG monitoring during
diagnostic exercise testing will be discussed.
This course will also introduce the student to
competencies required by the American College of
Sports Medicine for certification as an Exercise
Specialist. Prerequisite: ES 3450 or equivalent.




E S 5645. Cardiopulmonary Pathophysiology and
Rehabilitation/(3).F.
This course details the functions of the
cardiovascular and respiratory systems emphasizing
pathophysiology and treatment. Special reference
will be made to exercise as a mode of therapy.
Prerequisites: ES 2005 and ES 3450 or equivalent.




E S 5650.  Theoretical and Practical Aspects of
Strength/Power Conditioning/(3).F.
Includes brief overview of various biochemical and
physiological systems. Provides a comprehensive
comparative overview of the biochemical and
physiological responses and adaptations of
resistive training and aerobic exercise and
training. Provides comprehensive study of training
theory and methodologies with emphasis on
enhancement of maximum strength, power, and high
intensity exercise endurance. Prerequisite: ES
2010.




E S 5660. Exercise Prescription and Chronic
Disease Management/(3).F.
This course presents a comprehensive overview of
the physical, physiological and metabolic
responses of the human body to exercise testing
and training in healthy individuals and in those
with metabolic, cardiovascular and/or pulmonary
disease. The successful student will gain an
understanding of the processes involved in
prescribing safe and effective therapeutic
exercise in healthy individuals as well as
patients with cardiovascular (hypertension,
atherosclerosis) metabolic (diabetes, thyroid,
