Experimental Exercise
Physiology
Thesis Option only
Experimental exercise physiology provides an
educational program in basic or applied research in exercise physiology and in
scientific research techniques associated with the field. Course work will
prepare students to study the biological mechanisms underlying the body's
response to exercise.
Graduates with an emphasis in experimental
exercise physiology may choose to apply to doctoral programs in a related
academic field such as physiology or neuroscience, or may choose careers in
academic or corporate research programs.

Clinical Exercise
Physiology
Thesis Option
Clinical Exercise physiology is a
rapidly evolving field that is becoming increasingly important in the delivery
of health care. Physical activity plays a vital role in the prevention and
treatment of a variety of disease states and the rehabilitation of people with
various physical disabilities.
The specialization in clinical exercise
physiology, thesis option, requires advanced course work in statistics, and in assessment and prescription (Ex Sci 568). Students choose 6-7
credits from a list of recommended electives (see below), or other course work
acceptable to the student's graduate committee.
Students in the thesis option must complete
at least four semester hours of seminar (Ex Sci 596) and a research thesis (Ex
Sci 700).

Clinical Exercise
Physiology non-thesis
Non-Thesis Option
Clinical Exercise physiology is a rapidly
evolving field that is becoming increasingly important in the delivery of health
care. Physical activity plays a vital role in the prevention and treatment of a
variety of disease states and the rehabilitation of people with various physical
disabilities.
The specialization in clinical exercise
physiology requires course work in advanced physiology and pathophysiology (NURS
581 & 582) and in cardiopulmonary clinical assessment and exercise
prescription (Ex Sci 568). The nursing courses emphasize health care as it
relates to cellular and systemic physiological responses in individuals in
clinical populations.
Students in the non-thesis option must
complete at least four semester hours of seminar (Ex Sci 596), an on-site
supervised clinical internship of no less than 225 hours (Ex Sci 590), and a
written/oral defense of a graduate project relating to the clinical
specialization.
