Chair | Professor

Sandra Lund, PhD

Sandy Lund, PhD is a professor of Kinesiology in the College of Health and Human Services. With a PhD in Human Performance Exercise Physiology from Indiana University, Lund has research interests in the use of green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a marker for fitness enhancing transgenes, such as the Bt insecticidal protein, the expression of transgene marker technologies, and the development of the transgenic systems for educational purposes. Lund teaches exercise physiology, pharmacology and sport nutrition, exercise testing for health and special populations, and exercise prescription and program design courses.

Research has focused on respiratory physiology, exercise-induced asthma, and supplement use.

Courses Taught

Exercise Physiology

This course will provide students with the skills to understand basic pharmacology principles, with emphasis on drugs and supplements that are frequently used by the physically active population and those seeking to be physically fit. Students will also learn how commonly used drugs, supplements, and micro and macronutrients, can affect exercise performance in their patients and athletes. Practical guidelines are offered to enable the student to monitor and circumvent adverse reactions to drug therapies.

Exercise Pharmacology

This course will provide students with the skills to understand basic pharmacology principles, with emphasis on drugs and supplements that are frequently used by the physically active population and those seeking to be physically fit. Students will also learn how commonly used drugs, supplements, and micro and macronutrients, can affect exercise performance in their patients and athletes. Practical guidelines are offered to enable the student to monitor and circumvent adverse reactions to drug therapies.

Advance Exercise Physiology

This course is designed to provide the student with an in depth understanding of physiological changes and adaptation corresponding to exercise, the benefits of various types of training and the factors which affect physiological function during exercise, such as nutrition, age, disease, gender, and the environment.

Advanced Physiology

Covers at an advanced level the fundamental principles of physiology: cell physiology, neurophysiology, musculoskeletal system physiology, renal physiology, respiratory physiology, gastrointestinal physiology, endocrinology, and reproductive physiology.
