The application of mechanical laws and principles to study the effects of internal and external forces acting on a human body including objects that are manipulated by the body. Study of the laws of physics and computations applied to sport motion. Prerequisite: PHE-286.

The application of mechanical laws and principles to study the effects of internal and external forces acting on a human body including objects that are manipulated by the body. Study of the laws of physics and computations applied to sport motion in the laboratory. Prerequisite: PHE-286. Co-requisite: PHE-370.

The study of the effects of physical exercise upon the circulatory, neuromuscular, respiratory, digestive, and nervous system. Special emphasis is placed upon understanding the immediate and long-range adaptations of the body systems to exercise, limits, and work capacities in relation to age, sex, diet, environmental factors with the nature of activity as related to movement. Prerequisite: BIO-111, BIO-111L, BIO-112, and BIO-112L.

Special emphasis is placed upon understanding the immediate and long-range adaptations of the body systems to exercise, limits, and work capacities in relation to age, sex, diet, environmental factors with the nature of activity as related to movement. Prerequisites: BIO-111, BIO-111L, BIO-112, and BIO-112L. Co-requisite: PHE-374.

This course is designed to provide an introduction to physiological testing protocols and fitness evaluations performed in clinical and field settings. Focus is given to assessment of cardio-respiratory endurance, body composition, flexibility, muscular strength and muscular endurance. Prerequisites: Students must be at least a junior and have completed PHE-374.

This course is designed to introduce students to the principles of exercise prescription. Focus is given to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) guidelines for exercise prescription in the areas of cardio-respiratory endurance, flexibility, muscular strength, muscular endurance and body composition. The design of exercise prescription focuses on a variety of populations including adult, pregnant women, and diseased populations (cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis). Prerequisites: Students must be at least a junior and have passed PHE-374 and PHE-379.

A professional experience where Exercise Science students gain hands on experience by conducting and evaluating results from fitness assessments in a variety of patient populations. Background check and drug testing fees may apply to this course. Prerequisite: PHE-379.
