Syllabus For Clinical Exercise Physiology (Kine 4700), Phillip Drouet
Q2S Enhancing Pedagogy
The syllabus has newly developed learning objectives that will prepare students entering the field of clinical exercise physiology. This course will cover the etiology and pathophysiology of many chronic diseases that plague the population. Assessments of chronic diseases include but are not limited to understanding symptomology will also be covered. Due to the limitations in time the most prevalent chronic disease will be covered and students will have to present on a disease that was not presented in class. The practical application portion of this course will take place during a lab section. Here students will have the opportunity to …
Effects Of A Strength Training Intervention And Quality Of Life: Case Study On A Sedentary Adult Female, Lucas Frazier
Effects Of A Strength Training Intervention And Quality Of Life: Case Study On A Sedentary Adult Female, Lucas Frazier
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
The purpose of the project is to evaluate physiological and quality of life changes in a
sedentary, senior-aged (55 or older) female using a six-week strength training
intervention. This case study will instruct how to perform a push-pull-legs split
routine by going to the gym three times per week. Prior to the six week intervention,
both quantitative and qualitative variables will be collected to assess baseline data,
including the subject’s resting heart rate, resting blood pressure, grip strength, one-
repetition maximum on seven whole body exercises (dumbbell bicep curl, tricep
pushdown, barbell bench press, wide-grip lat pull-down, seated dumbbell press, …
