0.50 - 3.00 Credits
For students wishing instruction that is not available through other regularly scheduled courses in this discipline. Occasionally, either students request some type of non-traditional instruction, or an unanticipated opportunity for instruction presents itself. This seminar course provides a variable credit context for these purposes. As requirements, this seminar course must first be pre-approved by the department chair; second, it must provide at least nine contact hours of lab or lecture for each credit offered; and third, it must include some academic project or paper (i.e., credit is not given for attendance alone). This course may include standard lectures, travel and field trips, guest speakers, laboratory exercises, or other nontraditional instruction methods. Note that this course in an elective and does not fulfill general education or program requirements. Instructor permission will be optional at the request of the instructor. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Express original and creative ideas. 2. Collaborate with others to accomplish a shared purpose or goal. 3. Use appropriate strategies and tools to represent, analyze, and integrate seminar-specific knowledge. 4. Discuss and evaluate content from a critical thinking perspective. 5. Apply knowledge from seminar to a range of contexts, problems, and solutions.

3.00 Credits
Provides students with an understanding of the interaction between psychological processes, nutritional practices and physiological adaptations associated with physical activity and nutritional practices. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Describe factors associated with wellness and physical activity. 2. Describe activity and nutritional behaviors which promote, maintain, and protect health and wellness. 3. Describe how affective states and cognitive processes are related to physiological measures such as ECG, EMG, VO2, respiratory fitness, and body composition. 4. Relate affective states and cognitive processes to nutritional practices. 5. Provide research evidence regarding the psychological and cognitive effects of acute versus chronic exercise. 6. Analyze research within the field of psychophysiology of fitness and nutrition.

3.00 Credits
The study of health, wellness, and fitness from an anthropological perspective. Course focuses on an understanding of the influences of culture, political/economic environments, and social factors on health behavior. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Demonstrate an understanding of diverse dimensions of cultural norms and behaviors related to health behaviors, wellness risks, and protective measures. 2. Appraise diversity in illness experience and social meanings of disease. 3. Analyze how biosocial factors relate to disease distribution and health disparities. 4. Create methods of effective interaction, when working with culturally diverse populations. SU

3.00 Credits
Surveys the basic principles of control of human movement, including neuro-mechanics of human movement. These principles will be taught through application to sport, joint movement, and activities of daily living. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Describe complex systems in terms of simplified, higher- order functions. 2. Apply motor control research to course material. 3. Describe neuromechanical factors of human movement and apply this knowledge to movement analysis. Prerequisite: XSCI 2020.

3.00 Credits
Course surveys the basic principles related to the neuro-mechanisms and cognitive processes controlling human movement and contribution to the learning of motor skills. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs)** At the conclusion of this course students: 1) describing physiological properties of the musculoskeletal and neuromuscular system that relate to movement control; 2) describing the mechanical factors of human movement and applying this knowledge to movement analysis; 3) Identifying neurophysiological and behavioral principles of motor skill acquisition; 4) analyzing factors associated with motor learning theory (e.g., movement preparation, attention, arousal, and practice design); 5) applying motor learning and motor control principles. Prerequisites: XSCI 2020 (Grade C- or higher). FA
-
3.00 Credits
Advanced course for students who have successfully completed an Introduction to Sports Medicine course, or for individuals with previous experience in athletic training/sports medicine. Course includes field experience with athletic trainers. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Demonstrate how to take a thorough medical history. 2. Demonstrate basic assessment of range of motion techniques. 3. Describe the common mechanisms of injuries for upper and lower extremities. 4. Demonstrate basic orthopedic physical exam assessment techniques for upper and lower extremity injuries. 5. Recommend strategies for injury prevention. Prerequisites: HLOC 1020 or XSCI 1025 or instructor permission.

3.00 Credits
A study of how the development of physiological, perceptual, neurological, intellectual, and emotional factors affect motor learning. Knowledge from this course provides a framework for the establishment of programs that facilitate skill acquisition for all learners with a focus on children and adolescents. This course is required on most Exercise Science and/or Kinesiology degree plans. It is also a prerequisite for many graduate programs in Exercise Science, or physical/occupational therapy. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Distinguish how the disciplines of motor development, motor learning, and motor control interrelate in motor behavior across the lifespan. 2. Analyze aspects of physical growth and aging that affect the acquisition and maintenance of fitness and motor skills across the lifespan. 3. Analyze aspects of perceptual development that affect the acquisition and maintenance of fitness and motor skills across the lifespan. 4. Analyze social and cultural constraints associated with motor and fitness development across the lifespan. 5. Differentiate factors associated with motor learning theory (e.g., movement preparation, attention, arousal, practice design). 6. Research a selected topic, and apply new knowledge, in a practical way, to a contemporary issue in the field of health, physical education, or sport. FA
