17 courses with the subject EXSC, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
EXSC 1120Introduction to Exercise, Fitness, and Health4
Explores the fundamental role of exercise and fitness in health. Introduces principles of exercise and various components of fitness and wellness. Discusses the development of basic exercise prescription for cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, and endurance and flexibility and provides hands-on experiences of measuring these components. Includes discussions on a wide range of topics, including advances and innovations in health and fitness and practices that lead to more healthful living.
Introduces exercise physiology. Covers the muscular, neuromuscular, cardiovascular, ventilatory, endocrine, and metabolic responses to acute exercise and the physiological adaptations to chronic exercise and physical activity. Basic concepts related to physical fitness, body composition, weight control, and training principles are discussed.
Accompanies EXSC 4500. Offers experiments in the exercise physiology laboratory that introduce concepts related to the lecture content of the course and include techniques such as strength testing, ergometry, graded exercise testing, indirect calorimetry, and body composition assessment.
Prerequisite(s): ((BIOL 2217 with a minimum grade of C- or (BIOL 136M with a minimum grade of C- ; BIOL 234M with a minimum grade of C- ); (BIOL 2219 with a minimum grade of C- or BIOL 234M with a minimum grade of C- or EXSC 4500 with a minimum grade of C- ))) or graduate program admission
EXSC 5210Physical Activity and Exercise: Prescription, Measurement, and Testing3
Studies the general principles of physical activity and exercise prescription, measurement, and testing. Offers students an opportunity to learn the fundamental concepts and techniques to measure physical activity, exercise, and related testing procedures through a hands-on approach. Topics include the use of questionnaires and activity monitors to measure physical activity; measurement of body composition, fitness, muscular strength, and endurance; and clinical exercise testing. The fundamental concepts of exercise prescription and use of measurement techniques taught in this course are applicable to careers in physical therapy, exercise physiology, and as a physician assistant. Requires prior completion of EXSC 4500 or equivalent undergraduate course or permission of instructor.
EXSC 5240Clinical Nutrition Applications in Health and Disease. (34
Prepares health professionals to effectively communicate principles of diet and nutrition to their clients and the public. Covers public health promotion strategies, techniques used to teach diet and nutrition, and behavioral theories used in diet and nutrition intervention. Emphasizes clinical applications for the treatment of weight disorders, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, eating disorders, and nutrition in the life cycle.
Offers independent course work under the direction of members of the department on chosen topics. Requires submission of a written proposal to the program adviser prior to the intended semester. May be repeated without limit.
EXSC 6202Electrocardiography, Clinical Assessment, and Prescription3
Focuses on the identification and management of chronic diseases. Offers students an opportunity to learn skills to interpret EKGs. Topics include cardiac electrophysiology, lead systems, dysrhythmia recognition and treatment, axis, infarction, ischemia, hypertrophy, and the effects of cardiovascular drugs and exercise on the EKG. Through case studies, students interpret exercise test results, prescribe exercise, and evaluate exercise programs for clinical conditions such as cardiovascular disease, pulmonary conditions, and metabolic diseases.
Prerequisite(s): (EXSC 5200 with a minimum grade of D- or EXSC 5200 with a minimum grade of C- (Graduate)); (EXSC 5210 with a minimum grade of D- or EXSC 5210 with a minimum grade of C- (Graduate)); (EXSC 5220 with a minimum grade of D- or EXSC 5220 with a minimum grade of C- (Graduate))
Studies how to conduct scientific research in exercise science. Offers students an opportunity to propose a research project and design appropriate methodology to complete the project. Includes discussions on developing research hypotheses, comparing study designs, selecting appropriate statistical analyses, and managing data collection. Incorporates interpretation of published research to support the proposed research. Students present their own research plans through scientific writing.
