BIOL 5130 3.0 CR=3.0
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEMS IN HEALTH & EXERCISE
Cross-Listed with KAHS 5300 3.0 – host program
Course description
This core course is an in‑depth study of the cardiovascular system during exercise and disease, including an examination of current research. It is designed to further an understanding of selected, current and advanced topics in cardiovascular exercise physiology through:1) lectures, 2) laboratories, and 3) the reading and discussion of current research literature. The topics covered are devoted to both the central (heart) and peripheral (blood flow) circulation, with an emphasis on health, disease and adaptation. The course emphasizes the cellular and molecular basis of cardiovascular physiology in these areas.
Prerequisite: York undergraduate course Arts/Science Kinesiology and Health Science 4010 3.0: Physiology of Exercise or equivalent.
Degree credit exclusion: Kinesiology and Health Science 4450 3.0
