Sectioned course: This course provides an introduction to various methods of resistance training. The focus of this class is functional strength training. Students learn specific training methods. This is an ideal course for students interested in sport, applied sports medicine and rehabilitation. Enrollment limited to 20.

Sectioned course: During this period of remote learning, staying active is especially important for individual health. This course is an introduction to the principles and methods of training to improve and maintain fitness. After completing a survey of their personal fitness goals, living environment and fitness level, each student will design and follow their individualized conditioning program. Students will also be encouraged to discuss their experiences in order to promote a supportive community. Enrollment limited to 20.

Theory and practice of sports medicine with emphasis on injury prevention, protection and rehabilitation. Prerequisite: 210 or the equivalent. Enrollment is limited.

This course is about a detailed study of the structure and the function of the human musculoskeletal systems (e.g. joints, bones and muscles). In addition, a few motor control and biomechanical principles that apply to musculoskeletal movement (e.g action potentials, force modulation, line of pull, moment arm, and relate a muscles’ line of pull to generating a torque) will be introduced. Students will learn the skeletal system and skeletal muscles involved in athletic movements and how joints and ligaments promote and limit these movements.

Independent coaching and the study of advanced coaching tactics and strategy in a specific sport. Prerequisite: 505D. This is a full-year course.

Assisting in the coaching of an intercollegiate team. Weekly conferences on team management, coach responsibilities and coaching aids.

This course introduces selected topics in ethics and philosophy of sport as they relate to coaching and the broader conception of sport in our culture. Drawing on case studies and contemporary sources, the course examines beliefs about the value of competitive sport, its relationship to higher education and its implication for coaches. Students will develop and articulate their own coaching philosophy, and discuss related topics.

In this course, students will employ mechanical principles to describe and quantify human motion in static and dynamic situations. Students will be introduced to the biomechanical and neural elements that dictate movement and develop skills to analyze functional human movement activities in exercise and daily-living contexts. This course would be of interest to students with an interest in athletics, physical or occupational therapy, orthopedics and biomechanics.
