Biological Sciences (61)Exercise physiology is fundamental for researchers and majors in health fitness, athletic training,physical education, and health education. Not unlike other sciences, exercise physiologyinstruction that provides students with iihands-onl. laboratory experiences creates the mostpositive learning climate, leads to a more complete understanding of basic physiologicalprocesses, and increases comprehension of scientific principles, concepts and methods.Currently, due to lack of metabolic analyzing equipment, the instruction of many exercisephysiology laboratory activities has been done via more traditional demonstration methods thanfull and active student participation in the exercises themselves. The acquisition of keyinstructional equipment (metabolic analyzer and treadmill) will expand and strengthen theundergraduate student's experience in exercise physiology and help foster a direct problem-solving approach to the learning process in scheduled laboratory sessions, independent researchor other out-of-class projects. The objectives of this project are two-fold: a) to provide expiredgas analyzing instrumentation to enable students to study several fundamental exercisephysiology principles that cannot be investigated with the current equipment and b) to promoteand encourage active learning and student research opportunities. The improved learning andresearch resulting from the integration of the requested equipment into the curriculum willadvance the college's commitment to undergraduate research throughout the academic program.

生物科学（61）运动生理学是健康健身，运动训练，体育教育和健康教育的研究人员和专业的基础。与其他科学不同，运动生理学是为学生提供动手能力的指导。实验室经验创造了最积极的学习氛围，导致对基本生理过程的更完整的理解，并增加了对科学原理、概念和方法的理解。目前，由于缺乏代谢分析设备，许多运动生理学实验室活动的指导都是通过更传统的演示方法来完成的，而不是学生自己充分主动地参与练习。关键教学设备（代谢分析仪和跑步机）的收购将扩大和加强本科生在运动生理学的经验，并有助于培养一个直接解决问题的方法，在预定的实验室会议，独立研究或其他课外项目的学习过程。该项目的目标有两个方面：a）提供气体分析仪器，使学生能够学习目前设备无法研究的几个基本运动生理学原理，以及B）促进和鼓励主动学习和学生研究机会。将所需设备整合到课程中所带来的学习和研究的改善将推动学院在整个学术课程中对本科生研究的承诺。
