Exercise Physiology
Analysis Paper
Spring 2022
Due Date - TBA
Purpose
Exercise physiology concepts are at the foundation of human
movement. The content you are
learning in the course can be applied to any activity to explain
why the body works the way it
does. The purpose of this project is for you to apply concepts
learned during the course to a
selected physical activity / exercise in terms of the
physiological adjustments and adaptations
that occur during exercise.
Choose an exercise activity or sport that you participate in,
watch on a regular basis, or have an
interest in analyzing. Select the specific position if choosing a
sport. Submit your idea to the
instructor for approval. If your project is not approved, it may
receive a grade of zero. If you are
retaking this course, you must select a different topic. You may
not use any work that you have
submitted for another class.
Format
I. Describe the activity in detail (assume the instructor has no
knowledge of the activity).

17. II. Analyze the exercise / sport from an exercise physiology
perspective. When applicable,
include typical / realistic physiological values in your response.
A. Metabolism
a. What is the predominant energy system being used? What is
the contribution
of the other energy systems? Justify your responses.
b. What is the predominant fuel being utilized? If RER could be
measured,
would be a typical RER during participation on this activity?
Justify your
responses.
c. Describe what training methods you would use to improve the
metabolic
performance in this activity.
B. Cardiovascular
a. What changes occur in heart rate throughout the activity?
Describe the
physiological mechanisms that cause HR to change for this
activity.
b. What changes would stroke volume change during
participation of the
activity? Describe the physiological mechanisms that cause SV
to change for
this activity.
c. What changes in cardiac output would occur during
participation of the

18. activity and why?
d. What is the blood pressure response during this type of
activity and why?
e. What long-term (chronic) adaptations might occur in resting
and exercise
heart rate, stroke volume and cardiac output as a result of
continued
participation in the activity.
C. Respiratory
a. Describe the minute ventilation response during a normal
session of this
activity.
b. What is a-VO2 difference and how will this activity affect it
acutely? Why?
c. What long-term (chronic) adaptations might occur in minute
ventilation and a-
VO2 difference as a result of participation in this sport /
activity?
D. Neuromuscular / Training
a. What is the predominant muscle fiber type(s) would be used
during this
activity? Justify your response.
b. What kind of fiber distribution would enhance success for
this activity?

19. Justify your response.
c. What long-term (chronic) neuromuscular adaptations would
you expect to
observe? Be sure to give physiological rationale to support your
answer.
d. Describe what training methods you would use to improve
performance in this
activity. Be sure to give physiological rationale to support your
response.
III. Summary / Reflection
Provide an overall summary of your analysis. In addition to the
summary of your analysis,
include a discussion on how applying concepts exercise
physiology to your selected topic
enhanced your understanding of subject matter (if the project
did not enhance your
understanding explain why).
Product
Your paper should follow a standard paragraph format and
address the contents set forth above.
Include a cover page with your exercise / sport analyzed, name,
date and course. There is no
required length to your paper, you should answer the questions
cohesively and with significant
depth. Grammar and punctuation will be taken into
consideration.
You may use your notes, textbook, or other resources. If/when
using resources, you should

20. phrase the resources in your own words and make sure to cite
appropriately (use APA citation
style). Note - Plagiarism can result in a failing grade for the
assignment and possibly for the
course. Again, using your own work submitted in other/previous
classes (including this one) will
constitute as plagiarism.
Grading
Your paper will be graded on the following areas: content,
organization, and writing mechanics.
An excellent paper will be in paragraph form, flow in order of
the instructions and provide
accurate detail and regarding your selected exercise and
concepts of exercise physiology.
