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)

Acute and chronic physiological adaptations to exercise stress. Topics include: metabolic, skeletal muscle, respiratory and cardiovascular function during exercise, body composition, the elite athlete, ergogenic acids, and performance. Includes labs on techniques to quantify human performance capacity.

An introduction to the interdisciplinary field of physical activity and public health. Topics will include the effects of physical activity on cardiovascular, metabolic, musculoskeletal, mental and cognitive health. Students will be introduced to physical activity measurement techniques and strategies for effective physical activity promotion.

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.

An introduction to the field of athletic training, with laboratory experiences in the prevention, recognition, and treatment of athletic injuries.

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.
