The mission of the Division of Health & Physical Education is to maximize individual and professional development in health and movement science and promote healthy lifestyles and communities.
Course description: Designed to acquaint the student with basic principles of Exercise Physiology, Kinesiology/Biomechanics, and Motor Development. The emphasis is on application of these principles to younger populations. The course assumes limited background in anatomy, physiology, and physics. Laboratory experiences will be of an applied nature, with an emphasis on field tests requiring minimal equipment.
Course Objectives: Specifically each student should be able
to:
1. Understand the acute and chronic responses to exercise as they
affect
each of the functional anatomical systems.
2. Evaluate basic physiological functions related to performance, and
use these data to modify training programs and predict performance.
3. Administer basic field tests for each of the functional systems.
4. Develop an understanding of the differences between the prepubescent
population and the adult population relative to performance, rate of
improvement,
and the readiness to participate in various exercise forms.
5. Discuss other factors i.e. ergogenic aids, diet, food supplements,
male / female
differences, environmental conditions, etc. in terms of performance.

Grading: Classroom
participation is worth 10% of your grade in this course. To receive
full participation
credit you must attend class having prepared by becoming familiar with
the
materials relevant to the days topic. Your questions and comments
should
reflect that preparation. The final grade will be based upon an
accumulation
of
points given for classroom participation, exams, quizzes, and lab
projects.
