-
3.00 Credits
A study of fundamental concepts in human exercise physiology as applied to programs for improving athletic performance. Theories, current research, and techniques for assessing human physiological responses to exercise, physical training, and coaching for a wide spectrum of populations will be studied, but with emphasis on tactical populations.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will provide students with an in-depth understanding of how exercise and nutrition affect the body's physiological systems including, but not limited to the cardiovascular, endocrine, nervous, musculoskeletal, and respiratory systems. Additional attention will be paid to bioenergetics and the effects that extreme environmental factors such as heat, cold, and altitude have on physiological performance. Current nutritional theories and practices related to performance and proper recovery are also investigated.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of fundamental concepts in bioenergetics, biomechanics, and cardiopulmonary and skeletal muscle function and adaptation, as it relates to the physical conditioning, training, and physical fitness of tactical personnel. Current research, and laboratory techniques for assessing human physiological responses to exercise and training, will be studied. Topics to be covered include but are not limited to: testing and evaluating tactical populations, nutrition for tactical populations, and physiological issues related to fire and recuse, law enforcement, and military personnel. This course will include a 10 hour practicum to help students directly apply concepts learned in a real-world setting. Content will prepare students for professional certification as a Tactical Strength and Conditioning Facilitator from the National Strength and Conditioning Association.
-
3.00 Credits
A supervised experience of at least 150 hours in a private or public sector setting. Students will observe and assist experienced professionals in designing and implementing training programs aimed at improving human performance and resiliency. Additionally, students will construct a professional portfolio showcasing their knowledge, skills, and experience to assist them in obtaining future job opportunities.
-
3.00 Credits
A supervised internship experience of at least 300 hours in a private or public sector host organization focused on performance and resiliency of tactical athletes. Students will actively participate in designing and/or delivering programs aimed at improving performance and resiliency for a single tactical athlete and/or groups of tactical athletes. This internship will provide the student with hands-on skills and knowledge for handling the nuances of training tactical athletes. Upon completion of the internship, students will present a comprehensive summary of their internship experience, and will be formally evaluated by the internship preceptor.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to discuss theories of coaching philosophy and instruction in athletic performance settings. Content related to coaching philosophy includes coaching style, character development, and communication strategies. Additionally, instructional aspects of coaching include environmental arrangements, task presentation, content development, and feedback. Practical applications of these principles to athletic populations using open and closed motor skills will be included.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides foundational understanding of concepts in human anatomy and physiology as they relate the human body's adaptations to exercise. Specific content areas covered in this class include introductions to muscular and skeletal anatomy and physiology, functional anatomy, biomechanics, bioenergetics, and medical terminology.
-
1.00 Credits
This rigorous systems-based laboratory course in human musculoskeletal anatomy provides an overview of the structure and functional significance of the human musculoskeletal system. This mandatory concurrent laboratory section places emphasis on nomenclature and recognition of anatomical and histological features of human movement specific to the fields of kinesiology, physical education, biomechanics, athletic training, and strength and conditioning. Knowledge and skills of orthopedic anatomy relative to bony landmarks, joints, ligaments, origins and insertion of tendons and muscles will be of primary focus.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of fundamental concepts in bioenergetics, biomechanics, and cardiopulmonary and skeletal muscle function and adaptation, as it relates to the physical conditioning, training, and physical fitness of tactical personnel. Current research, and laboratory techniques for assessing human physiological responses to exercise and training, will be studied and applied to tactical athletes. Topics to be covered include but are not limited to: testing and evaluating tactical populations, nutrition for tactical populations, and physiological issues related to fire and rescue, law enforcement, and military personnel.
-
3.00 Credits
This class will provide discussion, demonstration, and application of skills and procedures used in athletic training for preventing training-related injuries commonly associated with tactical athletes. Specifically, focus will be placed on caring for and preventing training-related injuries seen in basic combat training.
