Applied Physiology Of Exercise Laboratory Manual

by G Balasekaran, Visvasuresh Victor Govindaswamy, Jolene Ziyuan Lim, Peggy Peck Kay Boey, Yew Cheo Ng

Overview

Practical applications of physiology of exercise factual materials found in the Applied Physiology of Exercise textbook are of paramount importance to understand the principles of training. The Applied Physiology of Exercise Laboratory Manual complements the Applied Physiology of Exercise textbook where practical applications in both laboratory and field settings are shared. These practical applications are mostly through personal research at the Nanyang Technological University, National Institute of Education, and Human Bioenergetics Laboratory of Singapore. The uniqueness of the laboratory sessions found in the manual was attested to the many hours of hard laboratory research work. For example, the Running Energy Research Index (RERI) Laboratory was born as a result of a 10-year long research. This laboratory research work, like the other researched laboratory sessions in the manual, is then used in practical sessions in physiology of exercise classes to fine-tune the best possible learning experiences for students. After a long process of fine tuning and constructive feasibility, the laboratory sessions became concrete and designed specifically for this manual.

A Short Hint

Here are some hints on how to use this laboratory manual. Users can choose what kind of laboratories they would like to use during a semester, or they can spread the laboratories over 2 semesters, combining theory and practice. Choices can also be made from easier laboratories for introductory content or a harder laboratory for senior classes. The book will complement most physiology of exercise syllabuses from introductory level to higher ability courses as it is comprehensive and covers a wide range of topics. Also, there are laboratory questions for every chapter with marks allocated. The marks allocated can be changed according to the user's preference and can be used in assessment components for passing the module. The students must interpret the results/data of the laboratory sessions to the best of their knowledge and use references from the literature that can be included to substantiate their results or findings. All references used have to be included in the laboratory report if the user is marking and giving feedback to the students. In addition to the diagrams required by the questions, additional diagrams may be used to illustrate the results. Look at the marks allocation closely for each question as this is a guide on how much you should write for each question. Enjoy the joys of practical physiology!
