Virtual Exercise Physiology Laboratory CD-ROM with Lab Manual

Kolkhorst, Fred William

Summary:

This CD-ROM serves as an animated laboratory with interactive exercises that allow the student, either individually or as part of a small group, to conduct experiments and obtain valid physiological responses. The goal of the CD-ROM is to assist students in determining how to experimentally find an answer, analyse data, and form conclusions from results.

FEATURES — CD-ROM:
# Assortment of variables (physiological, age, environment, etc.) to offer a wide selection of data sets.
# 5 Incremental Testing Conditions - student can test the subject to exhaustion by increasing the treadmill speed in time increments.

FEATURES - LAB MANUAL:
# Laboratory activities grouped as:
- Demonstration: Instructor demonstration of an important physiology test
- Student Activity Investigation: Individual or small group investigations in which all students are actively involved in data collection (similar to traditional lab setting)
- Virtual Investigation: Independent study using the Virtual Lab to investigate the mechanism that explains a physiological response to exercise
- Student Inquiry Investigation: Small-group investigation in which fewer guidelines are provided, requiring students to take a more active role in designing and conducting the experiment
# End-of-Experiment Questions - a series of questions found at the end of each laboratory experiment; designed to lead a student to understand the physiological mechanisms for the responses observed
# Useful Appendices providing the reader with additional guidelines, resources, measurements and data to further understanding
