Introduces the student to exercise physiology. Focuses on personal exercise prescription to improve aerobic capacity, muscular strength and endurance, and flexibility. Also discusses athletic conditioning, e.g. speed and power training. The effects of nutritional and environmental factors on exercise and the role of exercise in weight control and stress management are considered. Recommended: medical clearance from a personal physician. Students with credit for KIN 143 may not take this course for further credit. Breadth-Science.

An extension of BPK (or KIN) 143, Exercise Management, this course parallels the on-campus course BPK (or KIN) 343. This course is designed for students completing the health and fitness certificate and/or a kinesiology minor. The goal of the course is to provide students with an opportunity to appreciate principles of exercise leadership, assess individual fitness needs, design programs and monitor effects of prescribed exercise. This course is available only through distance education. Kinesiology majors and honors students may not receive credit for BPK (or KIN) 342. Prerequisite: BPK (or KIN) 105 (or 205), 142 and 143. Students with credit for KIN 342 or BPK (or KIN) 343 may not take this course for further credit.

An extension of BPK (or KIN) 143, Exercise Management, designed to provide students with an opportunity to appreciate principles of exercise leadership, assess individual fitness needs, design programs and monitor effects of prescribed exercise. The course includes a 34 hour practicum. Prerequisite: BPK (or KIN) 142, 143 and 205; STAT 201 or an equivalent statistics course, BPK (or KIN) 340 (may be taken concurrently). Students must successfully complete a Criminal Record Check prior to enrolling. Students with credit for BPK (or KIN) 342 or KIN 343 may not take this course for further credit. Quantitative.

Students are introduced to basic concepts in human motor systems underlying goal-direction movement. Topics including the problems of planning/control of movements, the role of the nervous system in integrating sensory and motor systems to produce movement, and motor learning are discussed. Taught from a behavioral and neurophysiological perspective and explores psychological influences on motor control. Research from a variety of distinct areas is integrated to provide a coherent picture of our understanding of human motor systems. Prerequisite: BPK (or KIN) 142 or permission of instructor. Students with credit for KIN 207 may not take this course for further credit.

Includes delineation of the role of the sports therapist and will study the structural and functional characteristics of the body with regard to the prevention of injury in sport. A first aid approach to athletic injuries will be developed with practical experience in routine treatments. Prerequisite: BPK (or KIN) 142.
