KINE 4362: Cardiorespiratory Physiology & KINE 6363: Cardiac Rehab Time: 7:05 pm - 8:15 pm M-W Instructor: James Eldridge, Ed.D. Office: MB 3144 Phone # 552-2331 Email: eldridge_j@utpb.edu Text: ACSM Guidelines for Exercise Testing (textbook) – ACSM - Required Rapid Interpretation of EKG’s (textbook) – Dale Dubin - Required Summary of Course: The purpose of this course is to prepare the student in the area of cardiorespiratory physiology. The goals of this course are to provide the student with an active learning experience that will increase their knowledge of (a) Cardiovascular energy metabolism, (b) The theoretical and practical aspects of exercise in programs designed for persons referred with cardiovascular, pulmonary and metabolic diseases, (c) The hemodynamics of exercise for healthy and diseased individuals, (d) cardiorespiratory responses to exercise, and (e) interpretation of ECGs. Historical and contemporary concepts of cardiac physiology will be discussed to improve the students understanding of the genesis and progression of cardiorespiratory physiology throughout the twentieth century. This course will prepare the student for practical applications of cardiorespiratory physiology in clinical and community settings. Students are expected to attend every class unless excused due to illness or extreme circumstances. Any student accumulating 2 unexcused absences will be dropped from the course. Grading Scheme: Each student begins with 10,000 points (equivalent to the grade of an A) Points are deducted from this total by answering test/quiz questions incorrectly, missing deadlines for the submission of class projects, and incomplete research. The grading sequence is as follows: 1,000 - 900 = A; 899 - 800 =B; 799 - 700 = C; 699 - 600 = D; 599 or below = F Course Layout: Terminology for cardiorespiratory RISK Identification of Cardiac Patients Student Biography -- Each student will develop a biography for their ideal job upon graduation. Due January 14, 2009 (point total = 10 pts) Quizzes -- There will be a total of 9 quizzes given throughout the semester. Each quiz is worth 10 points. Tests -- Tests will be given on the material covered for the following topics: Test 1-- Wednesday February 11, 2009—Physiological response of the cardiorespiratory system, (point total= 100 pts.) Test 2-- Wednesday March 25, 2009—Interpreting electrocardiograms for disease at rest and during exercise (point total= 150 pts.) Test 3 - Wednesday April 22, 2009—Cardiovascular Disease, Rehabilitation and Testing (point total= 150 pts.) Final Exam -- Wednesday May 6, 2009 (7:45 – 9:45 pm) – Comprehensive (point total = 250 pts.) Field Experiences -- Each student is expected to attend 2 Lab sessions outside of class which will help them apply their new knowledge of ECG's and Stress testing. This will enhance their understanding of the use of exercise physiology in health care and community settings. (each experience = 50 pts.) Cardiovascular Disease Paper— Each student will write a 10 page paper with 10 journal references on a topic dealing with cardiac disease, treatment, or testing. The paper will be in 12 point font, double spaced, and 0.75 inch margins all around. (point total = 150 pts.) Due April 29, 2009 |
