AB LEARNING  OUTCOMESDescribe  environmental  conditions  at  altitude,  including  percent  air  composition,  solar  radiation,  changes  in  air  temperature  at  various  altitudes,  wind  speeds,  and  terrain  effects  on  human  effort.Identify  body/physiological  changes  related  to  acute  altitude  exposure.Identify  body/physiological  changes  related  to  chronic  altitude  exposure  (acclimation).Describe  common  changes  in  sea-level  performance  after  altitude  exposure  or  training.Compare  and  contrast  exercise  performance  at  altitude  with  little  to  no  acclimation  with  that  after  proper  acclimation.Identify  the  key  elements  of  successful  altitude  training  camps.Describe  changes  in  a  person's  general  fitness  level  (positive  and  negative)  and  blood  chemistry  after  a  long  sojourn  to  high  altitude.Identify  notable  health  decrements/hazards  that  may  occur  with  acute  altitude  exposure,  such  as  acute  mountain  sickness.Explain  how  exercise  at  altitude  (vs.  sea  level)  may  aid  in  weight  loss  for  overweight  and  obese  individuals.Describe  the  cardiopulmonary  effects  of  air  pollution.Identify  exercise  performance  inhibitors  brought  on  by  air  pollution.Explain  why  the  risk  for  cardiovascular  disease  may  increase  with  acute  or  chronic  exposure  to  pollutants.Briefly  describe  the  history  of  diving.Explain  the  physics  of  diving,  specifically  the  concept  of  hydrostatic  pressure,  Boyle's  law,  and  Henry's  law.Describe  the  major  physiological  responses  during  diving,  including  the  diving  reflex,  ventilatory  responses,  hemodynamic  responses,  and  the  energy  cost  of  diving.Identify  common  diving  equipment.List  possible  complications  during  scuba  diving.
