Clinical Exercise Physiology
Description:
This course examines the topic of physiological response to exercise and exercise training for clinical populations. Particular emphasis will be placed on cardiac structure and function, interpretation of 12-lead electrocardiograms, and exercise testing (including pharmacological testing) and prescription for cardiac and pulmonary patients. In addition, a variety of other patient populations will be discussed, such as those that are pregnant or have diabetes, obesity, hypertension, etc. Students in this course will also complete internship hours at a local hospital in the cardiac rehabilitation center. This is a fundamental course designed to help prepare students to work in cardiopulmonary rehabilitation.
