Research Experience for Undergraduates
Exercise Science Student Research
Dr. Murat Karabulut revised the format of one of the classes (KINE 3160 Exercise Testing and Prescription) in order to link scholarship with learning to provide opportunity for students to test their knowledge, discover relationships between health related independent and dependent variables, and gain more hands on experience. In his class, he guides his students to explore the literature and find a unique health issue or problem to investigate. Students also go through online training to learn about ethics, Belmont report, the Federal regulations etc. to obtain necessary knowledge and certification to perform a research study. They perform real IRB approved research studies and present findings of the research studies in local, regional, and national conferences and symposiums.
