Physical Activity/Health & Dis

This course will provide students with fundamental knowledge underlying the health benefits of exercise and physical activity. The course will cover relevant topics in epidemiology, physiology, anatomy and exercise physiology that will help students understand how exercise, physical activity and sedentary behavior impact human health. We will apply this multi-disciplinary knowledge in the science of exercise, physical activity and sedentary behavior to various diseases and conditions to show how they actually affect human health in adults.

This course will provide students with fundamental knowledge underlying the benefits of strength and conditioning. Emphasis is placed on the design and implementation of effective strength and conditioning programs for performance as well as health and fitness. We will apply the multi-disciplinary knowledge in the science of exercise, physical activity, biomechanics and bioenergetics to various populations to identify how they impact performance.

Biomechanics

Introduction to mechanics and its application to human motion. Includes linear and angular kinematics and kinetics, mechanics of fluids, and elementary analysis of human motion.
