This course is designed to apply the principles of chemistry, physics, anatomy, and physiology towards an understanding of the impact of work on the human body Study will include both mechanical and physiological response to acute bouts of work and functional adaptation to repeated bouts of work. In support of class room instruction students will be introduced to basic laboratory techniques and collection, analysis and interpretation of physiological data. In addition, material will be presented that will emphasize the influence of age, disease-states, or the environment on the physiological response as a clue to physiological mechanisms and significance.
