14 courses with the subject KIN, 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.
KIN 510Applied Statistics and Research Methods3
This course provides the student with an overview of topics related to applied statistics and research methods with a focus on applications in the health sciences. Statistics topics include data summary and presentation, statistical inference and hypothesis testing, computing with statistical software, and interpretation and presentation of statistical results. Research topics include research design and methods for health sciences, critical evaluation of health science literature, and development of scientific writing. Students will connect research to evidence-based practice and apply their knowledge with a formulation and presentation of a research project proposal.
This is an advanced course focusing on integrative physiology and physiological responses to exercise. The course includes sections on energetics, metabolism, and endocrine exercise physiology; skeletal muscle excitation, contraction, and fatigue; cardiovascular and hemodynamics regulation; and respiratory exercise physiology. The course builds on principles and concepts learned in undergraduate courses in the area of physiology and exercise physiology.
and Prescription. (3 semester hours) Students will apply knowledge of exercise physiology to the process of health-related fitness testing and exercise prescription for healthy individuals, individuals with stable chronic conditions, and special populations (children and adolescents, older adults, and pregnancy). Students will learn to assess physical fitness and health outcomes, develop exercise programs, and use exercise training to improve fitness and health and reduce disease risk in these populations. A hands-on approach will be used.
Contemporary research from a variety of areas related to exercise science and human performance are discussed and explored in this course. Students will discuss relevant issues in the areas of nutrition, psychology and other timely topics. The course challenges students to analyze and synthesize current and relevant topics and offer solutions to benefit exercise science research and related industries.
KIN 540Advanced Methods in Strength Training (S&C)3
Develop, implement an analyze exercise techniques, training program designs, organization and administration, and testing and evaluation using scientific principles of strength and conditioning.
This course will assist human movement professionals (e.g., sports medicine clinician, exercise scientists, strength and conditioning specialists, etc.) to understand the nature of the structure and function of the human body through quantitative analysis of human motion. It will provide future clinicians/ researchers with the necessary knowledge base to objectively evaluate human movement and to understand the theory, concepts and application of conducting analysis of humans in motion. Students will expand their knowledge regarding quantitative analysis of human motion and the concepts and equipment to collect objective quantifiable data to be used for clinical or research purposes. Lecture and laboratory concepts will be utilized to instruct students on the foundations of biomechanical data collection. Major emphasis will be placed on using 2-D and 3-D motion analysis, force plates, and electromyography.
Major in Exercise Physiology or Undergraduate with EXS 300 and Senior standing.
KIN 570Graduate Practicum I4
The practicum course permits students to apply their academic training under the direction of certified fitness/wellness professionals and/or licensed clinical professionals. While classroom input is inherent in educational programs at Barton College, the application of academic theory gives the student experiences that will add to their personal and professional maturity. The practicum provides the student with the opportunity to ask pertinent questions, make observations, and to participate in agency activities. All practicum experiences must be undertaken in an agency that guarantees to provide the student with supervision by an exercise specialist or other professional possessing appropriate academic and certification credentials. Students must complete a minimum of 160 clock hours.
Individual research chosen by the student, subject to the approval of the instructor, the dean of the school, and the VPAA. In the semester before the study, the student must work with a faculty member to develop a petition to enroll in the course. The petition must include a topic for the proposed study, 3-5 learning outcomes, an outline for the plan of study, measures (projects) and benchmarks, and an assessment plan (the grading criteria to be used by the faculty mentor). Note: Also offered as KIN 481 for one semester hour, KIN 482 for two semester hours, and KIN 584 for four semester hours.
This course will focus on advanced training programs, which will optimize individual and team adaptations in hypertrophy, force production, power development, speed, and agility. The theory of
This course covers the administration and interpretation of cardiopulmonary assessments in clinical exercise settings. Course content includes clinical exercise testing techniques, electrocardiography (ECG), the effects of common medications on the physiological exercise response, emergency response procedures, and legal considerations.
Students will be prepared to utilize prescribed exercise, basic health behavior interventions and promote physical activity for individuals with chronic diseases or conditions; examples include, but are not limited to, individuals with cardiovascular, pulmonary, metabolic, orthopedic, muscoskeletal, neuromuscular, neoplastic, immunologic and hematologic diseases. Students will learn to provide primary and secondary prevention strategies to improve, maintain, or attenuate declines in fitness and health in populations ranging from children to older adults.
Classroom and laboratory experiences that provide an introduction to functional assessment and corrective exercises. Specific topics will include an analysis of common biomechanics of movement and the evidence-based application of functional assessment and assignment of corrective exercises. Students will be introduced to Functional Movement System (FMS) and Original Strength (OS) corrective exercise systems. Course includes FMS Level 1 and OS certified pro (OS Level 1 & 2 coach) credential (course fee covers cost of credential).

Students produce a written paper and oral presentation of work on an investigative research project in exercise physiology. This project must have a scientific composition and be founded on applicable theory and literature within the chosen topic. The project must meet the criteria for a graduate research project or a graduate research paper. Offered as satisfactory/unsatisfactory only.
