students for teaching and research careers in exercise physiology.
Graduates are trained for post-doctoral appointments and positions
in universities, industry, the military and research institutes.
The program prepares students to conduct research in basic
and applied exercise physiology. Emphases in the applied programs
are in neuromuscular efficiency and control, cardiorespiratory
response to exercise, exercise and lipid metabolism, and changes
in bone structure and metabolism in response to exercise as
well as disuse, bed rest and micro gravity. Emphases in basic
research include mechanisms of exercise-induced injury, neuromuscular
efficiency, muscle blood flow, muscle metabolism and free radical
stress, and the molecular biology of bone adaptation to stress.

students for teaching and research careers in motor behavior.
Graduates are trained for post-doctoral appointments and positions
in universities, industry, the military and research institutes.
The program is experimentally oriented and is specifically
designed to provide students with a thorough foundation in
the theoretical processes that assist the performance and learning
of perceptual-motor skills. Emphases in motor learning, motor
control and motor development are offered.
Sport Pedagogy: prepares
students for teaching and research positions in universities
as well as leadership positions in state or regional departments
of education. This specialization prepares students to design
and conduct research on teaching/teacher education and curriculum
and instruction, with an emphasis on linking theory to physical
education practice. Interdisciplinary collaboration and research
across the College of Education and Human Development are viewed
as integral components of the sport pedagogy program.
