NDPT 7151 - Therapeutic Exercise

This course is designed to advance concepts in the application of the physiological processes that underlie the effects of exercise as it relates to health, pathology, culture, age, gender, and restoration of function. Emphasis is placed on exercise training and deconditioning; specifically, how it effects muscle physiology and cardiovascular responses; oxygen transport and response to changes in metabolic demand.  Principles of therapeutic exercise, using a lab approach, will provide students with foundational knowledge for safe implementation of a variety of general exercise programs from a person with a diseased state to a healthy individual.
