BASES Molecular Exercise Physiology

Special Interest Group

Molecular Exercise Physiology Online Course

The BASES special interest group in Molecular Exercise Physiology (MEP) was launched at the BASES annual conference at Liverpool 2004. One agreed goal was ‘To promote teaching in MEP and staff development by offering online presentations and other learning materials partially via a MEP special interest group website and during specific BASES MEP teaching workshops’.

The PowerPoint downloads here were used as online teaching materials for level 3 BSc Sports Biomedicine students at the University of Dundee. The students additionally attended weekly tutorials plus practicals on muscle histology and Western blotting among other. Members of the MEP special interest group are encouraged to use these materials as an introduction into the research in the field and as a source of ideas for their own teaching.

Others who are willing to upload their own materials should contact me; also, comments and constructive criticism are welcome.

Finally, I hope that members of the MEP special interest group will be able to offer MEP teaching or research workshops in the future. Hopefully, there is somebody out there who would be willing to offer a workshop on RT-PCR, Western blotting, genotyping and performace or teaching strategies.
