Overview

Features

Exercise Physiology at the Queen's University is the study of cardiovascular and metabolic responses and/or adaptations to acute or chronic physical activity with an emphasis on the role of physical activity in cardiovascular and metabolic function in health and disease including research on the impact of diet and exercise; and oxygen delivery to the exercising muscle in health and disease.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

In general, research conducted within the School of Kinesiology and Health Studies has involved the study of exercising human subjects, although opportunities for animal research are available via collaboration with other Queen’s University units.

Research directions of faculty members in the various areas of exercise physiology include mechanisms of cardiovascular control and autonomic nervous functions under different acute and chronic conditions; chronic exercise effects on cardiac anatomy and function; effects of varying treatments (i.e. diet and/or exercise) on lipid and carbohydrate metabolism; and the effects of pregnancy on physiological responses to acute and chronic exercise.
