EXPH 6520 - Advanced Laboratory Techniques in Exercise Physiology
Advanced laboratory techniques refining and integrating cognitive and practical/experiential skills used in sport physiology, adult fitness/cardiac rehabilitation, and clinical exercise physiology environments. Including in-depth lecture in electrocariography, and other noninvasive techniques used in assessing cardiovascular function.
Requisites: EXPH 6170
Credit Hours: 3
Repeat/Retake Information: May not be retaken.
Lecture/Lab Hours: 2.0 lecture, 2.0 laboratory
Grades: Eligible Grades: A-F,WP,WF,WN,FN,AU,I
Learning Outcomes:
- Students will demonstrate understanding of the use of methods of cardiovascular monitoring and diagnostic imaging used during cardiovascular evaluations.
- Students will demonstrate understanding of how cardiac medications work, when they are to be used, drug interactions, contraindications for use, and how they affect cardiovascular function and ECGs.
- Students will demonstrate understanding of the different phases of cardiac rehabilitation and be prepared for outcomes possibly seen during phase II and phase III rehab.
- Students will describe and perform maximal aerobic testing on multiple ergometers and know criteria of maximal aerobic tests.
- Students will describe and perform measurements of pulmonary function, body composition and related anthropometric measures.
- Students will describe and perform graded exercise tests (GXTs) on multiple ergometers and be able to interpret results of GXTs (including EKGs).
- Students will describe what happens to cardiorespiratory variables from rest to exercise and interpret and utilize results of maximal and sub-maximal aerobic tests.
- Students will recognize and evaluate normal and abnormal ECGs at rest and during exercise.
