ES 391-Trends and Topics (3hrs)

The trends and topics class will be centered around discussing trendy and controversial topics within Exercise Science. We will read some popular press articles and see if the claims being made are actually supported by scientific research. We will discuss a new topic each class period, with a focus on developing critical thinking skills and keeping an open mind when acquiring new information. The specific topics will differ depending on what the class is interested in discussing, but some sample topics from previous classes include:

• Is it better to exercise using free weights or machines?
• Does alcohol actually improve exercise performance?
• How quickly do you lose adaptations to exercise when you stop?
• Is it really beneficial to consume protein after resistance exercise?
