The objective of this course is to expand on the introductory laboratory practices developed in HK 3600 Applied Human Kinetics I. Students will examine the functioning of a human body at rest and in motion, while learning clinical and advanced laboratory techniques. The students will be introduced to the underlying concepts of various physiological and biomechanical measures in lecture. Subsequently, the principles from the lecture will be used to make direct measures in the laboratory, with an emphasis on understanding exercise physiology, clinical testing practices, and integrative approaches to studying human movement. Students will be asked to critically analyze the laboratory measures and findings, and to integrate the lecture and laboratory material in formalized laboratory reports.
