Course Requirements:Course Requirements:
Written Tests: 4 – All tests will be in class (possible exception is final) – these tests these tests are information accumulative are information accumulative
Labs: 5– Lab write up will be described in class (see lab schedule)
Grades: grades are based on a competitive scale (tests + labs)– student with highest number of points becomes 100% and all other student grades are based on this scaling factor
Grading Scale:
A = 95 – 100B = 85 – 94.9C = 70 – 84.9D= 60 – 69.9F < 60
Total Points available = 660
Tests:Tests:
Mostly multiple choice and true false – there will be some fill in the blank. Tests will range from 50 - 100 questions.
There may be short essay type questions on the final

Course DescriptionCourse Description: considerations of physiological responses and adaptations to physical activity. Course concentrates on an understanding of biochemical, neuromuscular and endocrine responses and adaptations as underlying mechanisms for alterations in health and performance parameters.
Course Objectives:
To understand the concept of specificity of exercise and training. To understand the differences between training for sport and healthTo discuss the basic function in human movement of the, bioenergetic, neuromuscular and
neuroendocrine systemsTo understand basic physiological and performance adaptations to different types of training
(emphasis on bioenergetic, neuromuscular and neuroendocrine systems)To understand the basic principles and guidelines of training and how to apply them in
planning a training program.
