EXS 333 - Environmental Exercise Physiology

Credits: 3

In this course we will be investigating physical activity, physiological processes, nutrition, and how these are affected by environmental conditions. The human body undergoes acute and long term physiologic changes in response to changes in environmental conditions. These can include exposure to heat, cold, altitude, and other physical demands required for outdoor recreation and expeditions. These physiological changes lend insight in the processes critical for the maintenance of homeostasis and adaptation.
