  68. HES 506 (3) Research Methods in Health and Exercise Sciences

    Principles of research methods including philosophy of science, research designs, ethical considerations, critical analysis, qualitative and quantitative approaches, proposal development.

  69. HES 515 (3) Advanced Neuromuscular Physiology and Sensorimotor Neuroscience

    Neuromuscular and neuroanatomical processes involved in the control of muscle contraction and movement. Special emphasis on physiological adaptations within the nervous and muscular systems as a result of acute (e.g., exercise, fatigue, injury, hypoxia) and chronic (e.g., training, age, disease) perturbations.

  70. HES 516 (3) Laboratory Techniques and Analysis in Neuromuscular Physiology and Sensorimotor Neuroscience

    Practical experience with cutting-edge techniques and analyses used in the areas of neuromuscular physiology and sensorimotor neuroscience.

  71. HES 525 (3) Behaviour Change Taxonomies and Theories of Health Behaviour Change: Overlap, Integration, and Application

    An in-depth examination of behavior change taxonomies and associated techniques, and how these relate and compare to theories of health behaviour change. Critical analysis of how techniques and theories can be applied will occur through discussion, debate, article synopses, presentations, and written assignments.

  72. HES 526 (3) Introduction to Narrative, Scoping, and Systematic Reviews in Health and Exercise Sciences

    This course will provide an in-depth and applied learning experience on what narrative, scoping, and systematic reviews are, steps involved in conducting a rigorous review, how to interpret and evaluate the quality of reviews, and how to prepare a protocol for a review.

  73. HES 535 (3) Advanced Integrative Human Physiology I

    Human oxygen uptake, transport mechanisms and the coordination of physiological systems.

  74. HES 536 (3) Advanced Integrative Human Physiology II

    Muscle oxygen utilization and the integration of physiological systems across the lifespan and environmental stressors.
