Course description (exactly as it will appear in the catalog, including prerequisites):

PEP 3510 - Exercise Physiology
(3) F, Sp

A study of various physiological and environmental factors which affect performance of exercise and sport during acute exercise and physiological adaptations to chronic exercise. Prerequisite: HTHS 1110 and HTHS 1111 or ZOOL 2200 .

Justification for the new course or for changes to an existing course. (Note: Justification should emphasize academic rationale for the change or new course. This is particularly important for courses requesting upper-division status.)

This change in prerequisite incorporates both parts of the Biomedical Core Sequence (HTHS LS 1110- 4 hr and HTHS 1111-4 hr) and eliminates Human Biology (ZOOL LS 1020-3 hr)as one of the current three options. Knowledge of some pertinent body systems is not covered until the second biomedical core course. Human Biology does not adequately prepare students for level of knowledge expected for PEP 3510.

Comment on any subject overlap between this course and topics generally taught by other departments, even if no similar courses are currently offered by the other departments. Explain any effects that this proposal will have on program requirements or enrollments in other department. Please forward letters (email communication is sufficient) from all departments that you have identified above stating their support or opposition to the proposed course.

4. Is this course required for certification/accreditation of a program?

no

If so, a statement to that effect should appear in the justification and supporting documents should accompany this form.

5. For course proposals, e-mail a syllabus to Faculty Senate which should be sufficiently detailed that the committees can determine that the course is at the appropriate level and matches the description. There should be an indication of the amount and type of outside activity required in the course (projects, research papers, homework, etc.).
