Screening and testing devices, physical activity, disease, aging, and psychological health will be studied. Implications of each area will be investigated. Spring. Note: This course serves as the Gateway course for the Exercise Science major. A grade of C- or higher is required for graduation.
A study of movement from the viewpoint of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular anatomy and physiology, with an emphasis on the functional anatomy of the body.
This is a scientific and applied course focusing on agility, plyometrics speed, and energy system development application and programming for sport. The National Association of Speed and Explosion (NASE) Level 1 speed specialist certification is integrated into this course.
This course presents the scientific basis for sports nutrition, emphasizing the energy needs of activity and the effects of dietary intake on performance. Special dietary requirements of specific sports and athletic activities will be taught. Topics will also include dietary ergogenic aids, nutritional supplements, weight control, dietary fads, and the interaction of alcohol and tobacco on an athlete’s nutrition status.
This course is designed to prepare students with the knowledge, skills, and competence to conduct fitness assessments and to design exercise programs for various populations. Students will gain practical experience related to healthy fitness management programs and will learn safety techniques and basic sports nutrition. This course will prepare the students to take the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) exam. the NASM-CPT exam is an extra expense that is covered in the program fee.
A supervised on-campus field experience in personal training. This practicum provides students personal training experience by way of conducting personal training to members of the Barton College community during the semester following EXS 335 Personal Fitness Training. Spring. Note: A minimum of 40 contact hours between the classroom and the field placement is required.
This course will present an evidence-based approach to corrective exercise, the components of comprehensive solution, and the practical know-how to develop and implement integrated strategies to improve common movement impairments. Students completing this course will be prepared to take the NASM’s Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES) credentialing exam. The NASM-CES exam is an extra expense that is covered in the program fee.
A study of human movement form the viewpoint of biomechanics, musculoskeletal anatomy and neuromuscular anatomy and neuromuscular physiology, with the greatest emphasis on the mechanical aspects. Spring.
This course is designed to review and basic concepts of sports medicine including basic care and prevention of injuries, emergency care, and the fundamentals of rehabilitation.
A review of strength and conditioning professional content and preparation for professional certification and employment in the strength and conditioning field. Note: A course fee of $410.00 covers the student’s first attempt at the Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist Exam and a one-year membership to the National Strength and Conditioning Association.
A supervised on-campus field experience in sports performance. This practicum provides students an exposure to the implementation of college sports performance training programs. Fall. Note: A minimum of 40 contact hours between the classroom and the field placement is required.
A supervised on-campus field experience in sports performance. This practicum serves as a continuation of the Sports Performance Practicum 1, which allows students the opportunity to experience the full training cycle (in season, postseason, off season, and pre-season) for multiple sports. Spring. Note: A minimum of 40 contact hours between the classroom and the field placement is required.
This course has been designed to help you examine and apply the principles of exercise prescription for normal and special cases. Development of exercise strategies for the apparently healthy, elderly, obese, hypertensive, and cardiac patients will be discussed. In addition, exercise considerations for diabetes, asthma, arthritis, osteoporosis, and pregnancy will be explored. This course will include a practical component that will include performing senior fitness testing and senior exercise programming at a local senior living community. Note: This course serves as the Summit course for the Exercise Science major. A grade of C- or higher is required for graduation.
