The program offers a unique opportunity to conduct hands-on group experiments and collaborative projects in a university setting, exploring the scientific principles behind human physiological responses to stress.
Students in the Exercise Physiology (SAR HS 342) program at Boston University delve into the intricacies of human performance and the body's responses to physical stress. Through hands-on group experiments and collaborative projects in both laboratory and lecture settings, participants investigate questions such as the limits of human endurance and how common diseases affect physical activity tolerance. The curriculum emphasizes the scientific method, allowing students to understand how conclusions in exercise physiology are reached through research. This program aims to uncover the principles that govern how our bodies react to various forms of stress, including exercise. Students will gain practical experience in scientific inquiry and teamwork, preparing them for further studies in health sciences or related fields.
A typical day involves engaging in lectures, participating in hands-on group experiments, and collaborating on projects in a laboratory setting to explore how the human body responds to exercise and stress.
This program is ideal for rising high school juniors and seniors with a strong interest in STEM, particularly those curious about human performance, the body's response to exercise, and the impact of diseases on physical activity.
