Undergraduate and graduate students in courses designed to introduce research techniques in exercise physiology were provided the novel opportunity through project-based learning (PjBL) to utilize a prototype device to measure energy expenditure (EE). This report summarizes how EE measurements were incorporated via PjBL into course-required…

Shoulder pathologies among the adult population are increasing, causing a high concern in health-educational institutions.
