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.

The success of this course will be based on informed participation and a diversity of perspectives. We will read the book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, by Rebecca Skoot (Broadway, 2010), and use this and related readings as focal points for exploring contemporary RCR topics. Each student will take responsibility for introducing and leading a discussion about one topic (of their choice) stimulated by the assigned readings. Short writing assignments will also be used to synthesize RCR concepts that are raised throughout the semester.

This course reviews the fundamentals of the behavioral neuroscience of action. Section one covers neuromechanical, sensorimotor and visuomotor foundations. Section two deals with the reflex and voluntary basis of motor control, posture, and locomotion. Section three addresses aspects of sensorimotor learning.
