Students in Exercise and Sports Science Professor Jason Talanian's Exercise Testing and Prescription class recently had a session with Yoga & Meditation Instructor Anita Perry at our Recreation Center.

Teams of students in Exercise and Sports Science Professor Lindsay Parisi Exercise Physiology I Lab conducted an oxygenation experiment in the North St. Exercise & Sports Science Lab. In this course, human systemic response and adaptation to exercise and exercise training are studied in-depth. Topics included are epidemiology and physiology in health and disease, homeostasis and exercise metabolism, bioenergetics, nutrition, exercise and performance, exercise prescriptions for health, training, exercise and the environment and factors limiting performance. Laboratory experiences provide practical assessment skills as well as application of the scientific method to problems and issues in this field. 

Our 8th  Fitchburg State University Police Program's Recruit Officer Course (ROC) began week two, as they begin just about every day, with physical training (PT) this morning at Elliot Field. PT instructors Dr. Jess Alsup and Dr. Lindsay Parisi of our Exercise Sports Science Program (EXSS) led the recruits in their exercise session.

Exercise and Sports Science students, who spent this summer in various internships, presented posters recapping their work to Exercise and Sports Science faculty at the North St. Exercise & Sports Science Center.

Students in Exercise and Sports Science Professor Monica Maldari's Cardiovascular and Electrophysiology course compare heart rate and blood pressure at rest and during activity. Cardiovascular dynamics is studied through the anatomy, electro physiology and pathology of the cardiovascular systems. Description of the ECG variations and the underlying mechanisms forms the foundation for practical experience in clinical interpretation of the ECG.

Recreation Services gave students the chance to test their NFL Combine abilities against top college athletes at the Rec Gymnasium. Events included 40 Yard Dash, Vertical Jump, 20 Yard Shuffle, and more.
