This course is designed to provide students with theoretical and practical knowledge related to measuring children's free-living physical activity and sedentary behavior in unstructured environments. Students will learn about and become proficient with direct observation methods, accelerometry and anthropometric measurements. Becoming proficient in these methodologies will allow students to continue with hands-on data collection efforts.

This course will explore the key techniques and assays in the area of muscle biophysics. These will include the in vitro motility and laser trap assays. in addition we will discuss standard biochemical assays and methods that allow for the investigation of isolated proteins and enzymes . These will include the ATPase assay as well as protein purification and isolation. The course is lab-based and will involve extensive time in a wet-lab and performing advanced microscopy.

Study of the structure and function of cell, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems in the human body. Integration and regulations of system function from an applied perspective through clinical applications.

Current research methods in a real life Pediatrics setting.

An interdisciplinary approach to the science of human movement. Topics include motor control, exercise physiology, biomechanics, sports medicine, exercise neuroscience, and exercise psychology. (Gen.Ed. BS) (formerly Exercise Science)

Designed to engage students in: 1. Fundamental questions, ideas and methods of analysis, 2. Application of these methods to real world problems, 3. Critical thinking through inquiry, problem-solving and analysis and 4. Awareness of how race, ethnicity and social "class" impact health and wellness. This course provides the base of knowledge required to understand the role of diet and exercise in optimizing athletic performance AND overall health.
