PHED 200 Human Physiology I

A comprehensive overview of the field without being overwhelming. It provides a solid foundation of basic physiology to better interpret and understand sport and exercise physiology. It reviews the major body systems and examines the body's acute response to exercise and its chronic response to training. Students will learn how the environment affects these responses. The course examines various approaches used to optimize performance and focuses on unique concerns of special populations involved in physical activity. It also examines the importance of physical activity to lifelong health.
