16 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.
Designed to introduce the student to exercise science as a field of study and as a career pathway, the course emphasizes the fundamental biophysical principles of human movement and their relationship to physical activity and fitness. Offered every semester.
Students will be able to reflect on their personal development, strengths and weaknesses, and clarify goals for personal growth. Students will also confirm whether a BA or BS in Exercise Science is the best option to support their post-graduate plans. Students will also complete a roadmap for their personal and professional interests, and chart potential opportunities on that path. May be substituted within majors. Prerequisite: FYE 104/149.
This course will cover the physiological mechanisms, including metabolism, cardiovascular, muscle, and respiratory physiology, underlying sport and exercise performance and prescription. Professionals in the area of physical education, coaching, and other exercise professionals need to use scientifically based information to develop appropriate unit plans in PE, organize effective practice sessions for athletes, and prescribe safe and effective training programs. It will include lectures in principles of sport physiology and laboratory activities with an emphasis on application of physiological theory to sport and exercise. Three hours of lecture and two hours of lab. Offered every fall. Prerequisite: EXS 110 and EXS 210.
162
This course should be taken the semester prior to beginning the senior internship. It is designed to prepare the Exercise Science Major for said internship. Contracts, resumes, calendar, and other details will be finalized and reporting procedures and visitation schedules (where appropriate) will be planned. Taking the Exercise Science content exam is a required component of the course. Prerequisite: Exercise Science Major with senior standing. Offered every semester.
Option 2
This course will examine motor learning, motor control, and motor development across the human lifespan. Neural mechanisms of motor movement, as well as psychological factors that impact the per- formance and learning of motor skills will be examined throughout the course. In addition, the study of practice designs such as: part versus whole, random versus blocked, and massed versus distributed will be explored through classroom laboratory experiences and analysis of current research. The course content is relevant to those who wish to better understand how we learn motor skills and control both small and large human movement. It is especially relevant for those who want to teach, coach, train or engage clients in physical or occupational therapy.
This course is designed to provide students with information necessary for the design and implementa- tion of strength and conditioning programs. Emphasis will be placed upon assessment, description, and analysis of sport movement and designing weight training programs to enhance performance vari- ables. Students will also research current literature on strength and conditioning strategies.
