  • 3.00 Credits

    This course provides a comprehensive exposure to and experience in the clinical aspects of of exercise physiology by exploring the relationship between exercise and chronic disesase. The pathophysiology, medical & clinical considerations, as well as exercise prescriptions designed for specific diseases will discussed. Prerequisite:    (MVSC 355 AND MVSC 362 AND MVSC 365)
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course will provide students with knowledge of how environment (heat and cold exposure, microgravity, chronobiological factors, altitude, diving, pollution) can impact an individual's capacity to perform exercise and work. Students will be encouraged to participate in and conduct experiments designed to replicate these conditions in the laboratory setting, and submit their findings in professional laboratory reports. Prerequisite:    (MVSC 355 AND MVSC 362 AND MVSC 365)
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course is designed to introduce roles of the sport medicine team, liability issues, and neccessary skills and competencies required for identification, basic injury treatment, and basic rehabilitation principles of basic athletic injuries.Students in this course will modify exercise programs to accommodate injuries. The course includes the study of common causes of injuries and evidence-based best practices of injury prevention and care. Prerequisite: MVSC 201, MVSC 202, MVSC 257, MVSC 265, MVSC 355, MVSC 362. Credit, three hours. Prerequisite:    MVSC 308
  • 4.00 Credits

    The course provides an overview of the theory, methods and techniques associated with the strength and conditioning of cardiovascular and muskoskeletal systems. An emphasis will be placed on the acute and chronic adaptations to strength and conditioning programs, including novel methods such as, plyometrics, speed/agility/speed-endurance training, and core training. Application of theory will be implemented through practical lab experiences. Prerequisites: MVSC 201, MVSC 202, MVSC 257, MVSC 265, MVSC 355, MVSC 364. Credit, four hours. Prerequisite:    MVSC 201 AND MVSC 202 AND MVSC 355 AND MVSC 364 AND MVSC 265 AND MVSC 257
  • 3.00 Credits

    Recognition and understanding of normal and abnormal electrocardiographic patterns are examined, with an emphasis on the underlying physiologic mechanisms and pathophysiology. Use of the resting electrocardiogram (ECG) to identify contraindications for exercise and use of the exercise ECG to identify clinically significant cardiovascular disease will be emphasized. A student successfully completing the course will be prepared to successfully complete the ECG portion of the American College of Sports Medicine Exercise Specialist or Registered Clinical Exercise Physiologist Certification Exams.Prerequisites: MVSC 355, MVSC 308.Credit, three hours. Prerequisite:    MVSC 355 AND MVSC 308
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course addresses the role of physical activity in at-risk populations for health promotion and disease prevention and treatment. At risk populations are groups that traditionally report low levels of physical activity and/or have a high risk for chronic disease. Students will learn how to promote physical activity and how to prescribe physical activity for specific high risk populations. Prerequisites: MVSC 201, MVSC 202, MVSC 257, MVSC 355, MVSC 364. Credit, three hours. Prerequisite:    MVSC 355 AND MVSC 308
  • 3.00 Credits

    The course provides students with the skills, knowledge, and abilities necessary to be clinicians in a health/fitness and wellness setting. The course prepares students to successfully complete the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) Health/Fitness Specialist (HFS) Certification, a certification considered the "gold standard" of all health-fitness instructor certifications and required by many employers, including those in the health-fitness, university, corporate, commercial, hospital, and community settings.Prerequisites: MVSC 201, MVSC 202, MVSC 355, MVSC 308.Credit, three hours. Prerequisite:    MVSC 201 AND MVSC 202 AND MVSC 355 AND MVSC 308
  • 4.00 Credits

    Review of basic science from anatomy, physiology, motor control and biomechanics, walking gait, ground reaction forces, changes in gait with age, pathological and other abnormal gates, basics of movement sensing, measurement of gates with sensors-camera based sensors, accelermeters, pressure sensors, gyroscopes, electrogoniometers and other devices for gait analysis, applications of gait analysis. This course is jointly offered by The Department of Physics and Engineering (DPE) and Department of Public and Allied Health Science (PAHS). This course has laboratory section, Credit, four hours. Prerequisite: MVSC 319 Prerequisite:    MVSC 319
  • 3.00 Credits

    The course introduces the student to the use of technology commonly used in movement analysis techniques. The processes of data collection, analysis, interpretation, and reporting using video, force, and EMG techniques will be introduced and explored. Quantitative analysis of human movement toward understanding the mechanisms of injury, reduction of injury production, and improved movement outcomes will include kinematic and kinetic aspects of total body and isolated joint movements and electromyographic activity of muscle.Prerequisites: MVSC 360, MVSC 361.Credit, three hours. Prerequisite:    MVSC 255
  • 1.00 Credits

    This is an intensive workshop designed to address and fine-tune theory and practice specifically related to the content of NCSA's Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist examination. Students will review exam topics through a combination of classroom and practical experience. Throughout this course, students will be taking practice CSCS exams. Prerequisites: MVSC 201, MVSC 202, MVSC 257, MVSC 355, MVSC 364, MVSC 463. Credit, one hour. Prerequisite:    (MVSC 355 AND MVSC 362 AND MVSC 463)
