EXSC 460 — PHYSIOLOGY OF EXERCISE
Learning Objectives & Matches
1. Explain the roles of the nervous, muscular, cardiovascular, and pulmonary systems in exercise.
Explain exercise program or physiological testing procedures to participants.
Plan or conduct exercise physiology research projects.
Instruct patients in proper body mechanics and in ways to improve functional mobility, such as aquatic exercise.
Instruct participants in maintaining exertion levels to maximize benefits from exercise routines.
Develop exercise programs to improve participant strength, flexibility, endurance, or circulatory functioning, in accordance with exercise science standards, regulatory requirements, and credentialing requirements.
Teach proper breathing techniques used during physical exertion.
Demonstrate correct use of exercise equipment or performance of exercise routines.
Perform postural drainage, percussions, or vibrations or teach deep breathing exercises to treat respiratory conditions.
Plan routines, choose appropriate music, and choose different movements for each set of muscles, depending on participants' capabilities and limitations.
Explain and enforce safety rules and regulations governing sports, recreational activities, and the use of exercise equipment.
2. Explain principles of bioenergetics and causes of fatigue.
Develop new methods to study the mechanisms of biological processes.
Isolate, analyze, or synthesize vitamins, hormones, allergens, minerals, or enzymes and determine their effects on body functions.
Study basic principles of plant and animal life, such as origin, relationship, development, anatomy, and function.
Study the chemistry of living processes, such as cell development, breathing and digestion, or living energy changes, such as growth, aging, or death.
Maintain or arrange for maintenance of fitness equipment or facilities.
Explain exercise program or physiological testing procedures to participants.
Lay out, draw, and reproduce illustrations for reference manuals and technical publications to describe operation and maintenance of mechanical systems.
Perform routine maintenance on mechanical, electrical, or electronic equipment or instruments used in the processing of biofuels.
Repair, modify, or maintain medical supportive devices, such as artificial limbs, braces, or surgical supports, according to specifications.
Study the structure and function of human, animal, and plant tissues, cells, pathogens, and toxins.
