Students will study the evidence concerning the acute and chronic effects of exercise in people with the target conditions and will be able to discuss the evidence in open forums with their peers. In addition, students will complete intensive theoretical and practical training in cardiopulmonary exercise testing including comprehensive electrocardiogram analysis to improve student's efficacy in cardiopulmonary exercise testing of a wide range of people with chronic disease.
