-
3.00 Credits
The course provides the student with the history and current practice of health promotion and fitness instruction that can be used in a variety of health and exercise settings (e.g., corporate fitness, schools, non-profit organizations, hospital based programs, or service programs). Students will survey current health promotion topics, how to implement the administrative structure to conduct the programs, and assessment tools to evaluate the programs.
-
3.00 Credits
A course designed to introduce the theoretical basis and application process of research in the field of exercise science. The course explores the concepts of the research process, research design, ethical issues for the use of human subjects, and organizing a literature review. The students will also be introduced to the statistical concepts of descriptive and inferential statistics; including correlation, t-tests, ANOVA, factorial design and regression analysis.
-
3.00 Credits
The course will utilize students¿ backgrounds in biomechanics and exercise physiology to examine training methods and models that facilitate sport performance at the elite level. Profile characteristics of elite athletes will be presented as well as the relationship between inherited and acquired capacities responsible for elite performance. Attention will also be given to ways that technology is currently being used to enhance elite athletic performance. Prerequisite of HPED 322. (Alternate years, offered Spring 2010.)
-
3.00 Credits
The course provides the student with an understanding of basic electrocardiogram interpretation for the normal and the diseased heart at rest and during graded exercise testing. The course will review the anatomy and physiology of the cardio respiratory system and will include a survey of electrocardiography, including the topics of rate, rhythm, hypertrophy, axis determination, atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, conduction defects, myocardial ischemia, and myocardial infarction. Prerequisite: HPED 322 or Instructor¿s consent. (Alternate years, offered 2009-2010.)
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Students will carry out the research project proposed in the Research Methods course under the direction of faculty mentors. The semester will culminate with the submission of the final two chapters (results and discussion) and a presentation at a departmental colloquium. Prerequisite: HEXS 225.
-
3.00 Credits
Practical experience in using physiological laboratory instrumentation. Emphasis on appropriate application of test results to the planning of individual fitness programs. Populations discussed include adults, elderly, cardiac patients, and athletes. Particular emphasis on data collection using bicycle ergometers and treadmills. Includes two hours laboratory per week. Prerequisite: HPED 322.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Practical experience related to health, physical education, athletic or leisure programming, or health and fitness. May involve experience as an instructional aide, athletic trainer, recreational sports, or off-campus employee. Prerequisite: departmental approval

-
3.00 Credits
This capstone course will investigate contemporary exercise science issues with a look to preparing students as future servant-leaders in society. Topics for discussion will include preparation for the senior capstone exam, current exercise trends in society, popular nutritional supplements, national certifications related to personal training and conditioning, physical therapy and graduate school expectations, and vocational issues. Through readings and class discussions, students will formulate a personal written philosophy articulating their mission as a Christian professional in the field of exercise science.
-
3.00 Credits
The course provides an advanced study of the physiological responses and adaptations to physical activity. Emphasis is placed on human bioenergetics, skeletal muscle structure and function, and the cardiovascular system. The critical analysis of the effect of exercise on human physiologic function will include in-depth examination of current literature. Prerequisite: HPED 322. (Alternate years, offered 2010-2011.)
