-
3.00 Credits
The purpose of the course is to acquaint the student with functional anatomy and the biomechanics of human movement and performance. The focus will be on the physiology of skeletal muscle, muscular arrangements around the major joints of the body, and the properties of muscular force production. There will also be an examination of the skeletal muscle adaptation to various forms of stimuli.
-
3.00 Credits
The course is designed to introduce the student to theoretical and practical concepts of exercise assessment, exercise interpretation and exercise prescription. Course content includes the principles and practices of prescribing exercise to healthy individuals, and individuals with conditions such as cardiac disease, diabetes, physical disabilities and the aged.
-
3.00 Credits
Exercise nutrition integrates the sciences of nutrition, exercise physiology, and exercise metabolism. The first section of this course focuses on food and the macronutrients and micronutrients they provide, nutrient structure and characteristics, food digestion and nutrient absorption, and the conversion of food to energy. The second section of this course focuses on optimal nutrition for exercise, training, and health. The third and final section of the course provides information about the development and marketing of nutritional products and ergogenic (performance enhancing) aids.
-
3.00 Credits
The course stresses the quantitative nature of biomechanics that integrates anatomy, physics, mathematics, and physiology for the study of human movement. The course will cover the foundations of human movement, functional anatomy, and mechanical analysis of human motion.
-
1.00 Credits
The course is the laboratory component of the biomechanics course. Emphasis will placed on the application of biomechanics concepts, hands-on activities and experiments involving contemporary forms of biomechanical analysis. Sample areas will include video analysis of motion and kinematics of running, jumping throwing, linear motion and equilibrium.
-
2.00 Credits
A course for understanding the application of basic psychological principles to the coaching of the individual athlete, or teams in the competitive environment. One of several courses designed to meet state mandate for interscholastic coaching.
-
3.00 Credits
Study of prevention and recognition of injuries commonly associated with athletic competition. Includes the study of anatomy and physiology involved in injuries. One of several courses designed to meet state mandate for interscholastic coaching.
-
3.00 Credits
Develops the basic competencies of students interested in athletic training. Areas included in the internship will include preventive taping, injury prevention, the basics of rehabilitation, coverage of home events, and basic functioning of a training room. Athletic Trainer required.
-
2.00 Credits
A course designed to introduce the prospective coach to the basic skills, strategies and coaching techniques required in organizing a particular sport. While the course is one of several courses designed to meet state mandates for interscholastic coaching, the student is expected to have completed all other courses in the mandate before enrolling in PHED 321 or attain the permission of the instructor.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
This special topics course emphasizes exercise science topics not covered in detail by regular courses and/or not offered on a regular basis. The course explores the field of exercise science and uses related literature to discuss current issues in exercise science. Students will pick topics, research them, critically analyze (interpret, explain) research related to a topic and present the research to the class. Guest lecturers will be used to present students with information on specialty areas in Exercise Science.
