CATALOG COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course covers basic systematic adaptations to exercise with specific emphasis on
the interrelationship of physiological functions of the human body, and the changes
resulting from physical activity.
PURPOSE OF THE COURSE:
This course provides an introductory study of the principles and concepts of
exercise physiology. Theoretical and scientifically established mechanisms are
examined which explain the body’s physiological response, adaptation, and concomitant
regulation during acute and chronic exercise. Emphasis will be placed on four
fundamental areas; Energy Metabolism and Bioenergetics, Cardiovascular and
Pulmonary, Neuromuscular, and Body Composition. The students should be able to
understand the body's function from the cellular to systemic level during exercise. In
addition, the students should be able to comprehend different training principles and
how the assessment of health and performance is obtained.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
1. To study immediate and long term effects of exercise upon the physiological
functions of the human body.
2. To understand the physiological mechanisms controlling acute responses and
adaptations to exercise.
3. To understand and synthesize information to see how the human body integrates
the various physiological systems.
4. To acquire an appreciation for the original research which is the basis of the
exercise physiology body of knowledge.
COURSE REQUIREMENTS:
1) Prompt attendance and active participation in lectures.
2) Satisfactory grades in tests and projects and satisfactory compliance with course
policies.

REQUIRED TEXTBOOK:
Exercise Physiology, Theory and Application to Fitness and Performance, by Scott K.
Powers and Edward T. Howley (7th edition). McGraw Hill. ISBN: 0-07-337647-7
THE SYLLABUS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE
GRADING:
3 Exams (60 pts each)
Comprehensive Final Exam
180 pts
120 pts
300 pts
A= 90 - 100%
B= 80 - 89%
C= 70 - 79%
D= 60 - 69%
F= Below 60%
EXAMS (3 @ 60 points each = 180 points):
Due to the nature of the course and how it’s developed, a comprehensive nature will be
present for all examinations. Exams will mostly be multiple choice questions with the
possibility of some additional short answer questions. If a test is missed without official
paper work, it will be assigned a grade of 0%. Exam dates as listed are TENTATIVE,
exact dates will be announced one week prior to the exam.
COMPREHENSIVE FINAL EXAM (120 points):
The final comprehensive exam will be worth 120 points. Test will be primarily multiple
choice questions with the possibility of some additional short assay questions. If a test is
missed without official paper work, it will be assigned a grade of 0%.
INTERACTIVE VIDEO
Supplemental interactive video CD’s are available to be signed out from me. The
5 areas that should be covered are Muscular, Nervous I, Nervous II, Cardiovascular,
and Respiratory. Make sure that you have the time to go through each section and
complete the test associated with each section. It is expected that you will review each
of the 5 areas in order to supplement the lecture notes and class materials.
COURSE POLICIES:
All cell phones are required to be turned OFF during class.
CLASS ATTENDANCE POLICY
Attendance and participation in class is mandatory. Only one excused absence
is allowed for medical reasons for the semester. Each absence thereafter will result in
reduction of 3 points from the final grade. Two tardies will constitute an absence;
therefore, early arrival to class is critical. After three absences the instructor reserves
the right to drop a student from the course because the lack of information and class
participation gained from class will be detrimental to positive progress in the course.
MAKE-UP POLICY
Missing a scheduled test is severely discouraged, but if unavoidable the student
should clear it in advance with the instructor.
THERE ARE NO MAKEUP
ASSIGNMENTS FOR UNEXCUSED ABSENCES. A make-up exam must be taken
Dr. Karabulut, KINE_3353
Page 2
before the next class meeting. Students who miss a test due to illness must contact the
instructor PRIOR to the test and must show official written documentation for the illness
in order to be given a makeup test. The instructor reserves the right to modify the exam
for any re-scheduled exam.
INCOMPLETE GRADE POLICY
Incompletes will only be given in extreme medical or personal hardship cases. In
order to qualify for an incomplete, academic progress and regular attendance in the
course must be demonstrated through the first nine weeks of class. Incompletes are
typically not considered if attendance or the hardship occurs prior to the final drop date.
ACADEMIC APPEALS
In attempting to resolve any student grievance regarding grades, it is the
obligation of the student to first make a serious effort to resolve the matter with the
individual with whom the grievance originated. Individual course instructors retain
primary responsibility for assigning grades. The instructor’s judgment is final unless
compelling evidence shows discrimination, differential treatment, or procedural
irregularities. If evidence warrants appeal, the student may appeal in writing within 21
days to the Department chair from which the grade was issued. Disputes not
satisfactorily resolved within 21 days may be appealed in writing to the School or
College Dean who will render the final decision.
COPYRIGHT STATEMENT
Unauthorized photocopying of copyrighted works, including musical works, may
be unlawful and may infringe the copyright of the copyright owner. Students in
possession of unauthorized duplications of copyrighted material are subject to
appropriate disciplinary action as well as those civil remedies and criminal penalties
provided by federal law. This includes copying textbooks illegally.
CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR & ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:
Students are expected to be present, prompt, prepared, and focused on the
activities of the class. Appropriate questions and discussions are welcome during the
class. No talking is allowed when the professor or a recognized student is talking--RESPECT and COURTESY are expected at all times. Students, who are disruptive,
exhibit rude or disrespectful behavior to the professor or other students, will be asked to
leave the class. Guidelines for disciplinary actions will be followed from the student
handbook published on campus.
Academic or scholastic dishonesty, including
plagiarism, collusion, or cheating on any examination, test, or classroom assignment will
be treated with the greatest severity. Commonly defined, scholastic dishonesty consists
of passing off work as one’s own ideas, words, writings, etc., that belong to another. In
accordance with this definition, you are committing plagiarism, or scholastic dishonesty,
if you copy the work of another person and turn it in as your own, even if you have the
permission of the other person. This also includes anonymous work that is found on the
Internet. ALL work that comes from an outside resource must be referenced using
appropriate APA reference protocols.
Furthering this definition is the copying and pasting rule. Copying and
pasting prior work performed for this course or another course is expressly
Dr. Karabulut, KINE_3353
Page 3
forbidden. This includes electronic file sharing. Sharing an electronic file and
then making modifications to the content and turning in the document or file as
an original is also considered scholastic dishonesty. Violation of this restriction
will result in a “0” for the assignment.
Additionally, the use of online paper companies is forbidden in the course. Most
students will find that the assignments in this course are unique enough that “paper mill”
services will not assist in the assignments given.
Scholastic dishonesty is a current situation that is being taken seriously by all
universities across the United States. Professors and instructors have been alerted to
be aware of these occurrences and to bring them to the attention of the student,
department chair, and college dean when they are suspected. Any student who is
caught or suspected will be immediately reported to the department chair and
college dean to be reprimanded, and for further university action if deemed
necessary. The consequences for scholastic dishonesty may result in expulsion
from the university.
SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS (SAP)
UTB/TSC monitors academic progress every fall and spring semester to identify those
students who are experiencing difficulty with their courses. Satisfactory Academic
Progress (SAP) is based upon two components: GPA of 2.0 or higher and
successful course completion of at least 70% of course work attempted. Students
remain in good standing with the university and Financial Aid when both criteria are
met. Students who do not maintain these required minimum standards will be placed
on probation or suspension as appropriate. The complete Satisfactory Academic
Progress policy and the Undergraduate Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial
Aid policy can be found in the current Undergraduate Catalog. For more information,
please visit http://www.utb.edu/vpaa/sap/Pages/Home.aspx.
SCHOLASTIC DISHONESTY
Students who engage in scholastic dishonesty are subject to disciplinary penalties,
including the possibility of failure in the course and expulsion from the University.
Scholastic dishonesty includes but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, collusion,
submission for credit of any work or materials that are attributable in whole or in part to
another person, taking an examination for another person, any act designed to give
unfair advantage to a student, or the attempt to commit such acts. Since scholastic
dishonesty harms the individual, all students and the integrity of the University, policies
on scholastic dishonesty will be strictly enforced. (Board of Regents Rules and
Regulations)
All scholastic dishonesty incidents will be reported to the Dean of Students. Do not
allow your peers to pressure you to cheat. Your grade, academic standing and
personal reputation are at stake. For a brief informative video on cheating and its
consequences click on “Academic Integrity at UTB/TSC” at this link:

STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC RESPONSIBILITIES
Students are expected to be diligent in their studies and attend class regularly
and on time. Students are responsible for all class work and assignments. On
recommendation of the instructor concerned and with the approval of the Dean,
students may, at any time, be dropped from courses. This may result in a “W” or “F” on
the student’s permanent record.
EMERGENCY POLICY STATEMENT
In compliance with the Emergency UTB/TSC Academic Continuity Plan,
academic courses, partially or entirely, will be made available on the MyUTBTSC
Blackboard course management system. This allows faculty members and students to
continue their teaching and learning via MyUTBTSC Blackboard
http://myutbtsc.blackboard.com, in case the university shuts down as a result of a
hurricane or any other natural disaster.
The university will use MyUTBTSC Blackboard to post announcements notifying faculty
members and students of their responsibilities as a hurricane approaches our region. If
the university is forced to shut down, faculty will notify their course(s). To receive credit
for a course, it is the student’s responsibility to complete all the requirements for that
course. Failure to access course materials once reasonably possible can result in a
reduction of your overall grade in the class.
To facilitate the completion of class, most or all of the communication between
students and the institution, the instructor, and fellow classmates will take place using
the features in your MyUTBTSC Blackboard and UTB email system. Therefore, all
students must use Scorpion Online to provide a current email address. Students may
update their email address by following the link titled “Validate your e-Mail Account” in
MyUTBTSC Blackboard Portal. In the event of a disaster, that disrupts normal
operations, all students and faculty must make every effort to access an internetenabled computer as often as possible to continue the learning process.
EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM
UTB/TSC has implemented an emergency communication system to provide
students, faculty, staff and visitors with important information in the event of an
impending threat. This system allows UTB/TSC to send time sensitive notifications via
telephones, computers, indoor speakers in classrooms and laboratories, outside
speakers, e-mail messages, and announcements on the University’s home page:
www.utb.edu. The notification methods used will vary depending on the level of the
emergency. Messages will communicate the current situation and provide guidance for
what action needs to be taken immediately.
AMERICAN WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA)
Students with disabilities, including learning disabilities, who wish to request
accommodations in this class should notify the Disability Services Office early in the
semester so that the appropriate arrangements may be made. In accordance with
federal law, a student requesting accommodations must provide documentation of
his/her disability to the Disability Services counselor. For more information, visit
Disability Services in the Lightner Center, call 956-882-7374 or e-mail
