12 courses with the subject EXS, 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.
FALL This course is an introduction to the field of exercise science. The content includes definitions, objectives, and philosophies of the field; basic content of components of exercise science, contemporary issues and research, and potential career options.
FALL This course will explore physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions of health with emphasis on how lifestyle choices affect athlete development, team culture, and organizational outcomes. Topics include nutrition, physical activity, stress management, resilience, and mindfulness. Through applied learning and reflection, students gain practical strategies to integrate wellness principles into sport and recreation settings while modeling balanced, healthy living as future professionals. Offered alternate years (even)
SPRING This course provides a foundational understanding of injury prevention and care for athletes. Students will explore the essential components of a sports medicine system and learn to identify common orthopedic and general medical conditions associated with athletic participation. Topics include emergency first aid, principles of training and nutrition, safety protocols, injury assessment, and treatment rationale for sport-related injuries. Emphasis is placed on promoting athlete safety and well-being through evidence-based practices. Offered alternate years (even)
FALL Students will examine structure and function, as it relates to the mechanical principles of human movement. Topics will include the study of the muscular and skeletal system during sport, exercise, and everyday movement patterns. Additionally, students will utilize biomechanical computer software to analyze various sport skills and exercise related motion.
SPRING A study of the body’s physiological responses to exercise and various environments with specific details given to the musculoskeletal, respiratory and neurological systems. Additional considerations will be given to the physiology of health, fitness and performance. Current principles and theories are presented through laboratory experiments, diagnostic techniques, and practical applications.
FALL Students will participate in and conduct laboratory and field based exercise tests including body composition, aerobic capacity, anaerobic capacity, strength/power, and range of motion. Additionally, students will interpret the results of exercise tests based on criterion data and normative age/gender data.
SPRING The course examines the principles of strength and conditioning program design for both competitive and recreational athletes. Students will explore concepts of periodization within strength and conditioning programs and be able to apply these concepts by designing programs to enhance strength, power, and speed. Additionally, students will gain an understanding of athlete rehabilitation, facilities management and psychological components of training.
SPRING This course examines exercise prescription for apparently healthy individuals and those with cardiovascular, orthopedic and metabolic conditions. Students will gain an understanding of applying the FITT (Frequency, Intensity, Type, Time) principle to various populations and understanding modifications based on medical and health history. Students will also explore the impact of goal setting and psychological variables as related to exercise prescription and modification.
Arranged by Department This course is a comprehensive study of a topic in Exercise Science that is not regularly part of the department offerings. Only one topic will be studied per offering with choice and rotation of topics left to the discretion of the department. The course may have a research component.
FALL The course will examine aspects of nutrition as related to exercise and sport performance. The course will focus on nutrition and hydration considerations for athletes and physically active individuals. Topics will include nutritional timing around competitions, ergogenic aids and nutrition for optimal body composition and performance.
FALL and SPRING This course provides students with practical experience in the area of Exercise Science. It will incorporate the skills they have learned throughout their program and provide them with an environment to use and further develop those skills. Satisfactory/unsatisfactory grading.
