Current research methods in a real life Pediatrics setting.

This course is the second in a two-semester series fulfilling the honors capstone thesis requirement. Wearable technologies are now widely used by researchers, practitioners and the lay public to a track a variety of free-living physical activity and health parameters in real time. The market for fitness and health-related apps is large and growing. There will be continued need to expose students to these technologies and their possible applications.

A practicum course designed to provide students with practical application of exercise testing and technique modifications to meet the variety of needs for individuals with special health concerns.

This course is the second in a two-semester series. This course is designed to provide students with practical experience related to measuring children's free-living physical activity and sedentary behavior in unstructured environments. In the fall semester, students learned about and become proficient with direct observation methods, accelerometry and anthropometric measurements. These skills will be used in this course during hands-on data collection efforts and/or work in other laboratory and community settings.
