Exercise Physiology

|
 Return to: Programs
Exercise Physiology is an extension of physiology that focuses on the changes
in physiological function which occur as the human organism moves from an inactive
state to an active state. In exercise physiology acute responses to a single exercise
session as well as chronic adaptations to a series of exercise sessions are studied.
The physiological adaptation to stress is investigated with the intention of gaining
an understanding of exercise induced improvements in physiological function.
The Exercise Physiology Program of Springfield College has a longstanding tradition
and prestigious reputation both nationally and internationally. The exercise physiology
concentration offers two tracks of study: (1) Science and Research is designed
to prepare students for advanced study at the doctoral level as well as for basic
and applied research activities; and (2) Clinical is designed to prepare students
for clinical research or a career in a clinical setting, or advanced study at
the doctoral level.
Facilities available for research in exercise physiology include: a large multipurpose
performance assessment laboratory, a biochemistry laboratory which houses state
of the art research equipment, a computerized hydrostatic weighing laboratory,
a computerized dynamometry laboratory as well as sophisticated metabolic testing
equipment. The presentation of student research at regional and/or national scientific
meetings along with the publication of research findings is one of the goals of
the graduate experience in exercise physiology.
Students who receive a grade of C+ or lower in any of three courses will be expected
to move from the Exercise Physiology concentration to another program or area
of concentration.
Undergraduate prerequisites/competencies:
- Anatomy and Physiology I and II
- Inorganic Chemistry
- Organic Chemistry
- Biochemistry
- Physics
- Kinesiology
- Exercise Physiology
- Electrocardiography (clinical track)
- Exercise Testing and Prescription (clinical track)

Exercise Science and Sport Studies
Application for admission for graduate study in Exercise Science and Sport Studies
Programs is highly competitive. Even though Springfield College has a rolling
admission policy for graduate school, completion of the application process as
early as possible is encouraged. All applications must include the following:
undergraduate transcripts, GRE scores, three references, and a personal statement
relative to professional goals. Any and all other materials required by graduate
admissions must be included.
