20 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 210Introduction to Exercise Science
The course introduces the foundations of exercise science, including history and philosophy, careers, professional organizations, certifications, research methods, and professional issues. Also, human performance, clinical exercise physiology, and strength training and conditioning constructs are covered. The course consists of essential components of program design, training, and assessment. (3)
This course introduces a broad range of theoretical and applied leadership objectives- investigating leadership theories and paradigms. Evaluating and identifying leadership antecedents and consequences in exercise science and wellness disciplines are essential in deciding measurement issues. Developing and applying leadership theories and strategies to adapt to organizations and proactively effect changes in policies and measurements. Design leadership strategies to aid coaches, recreation specialists, and physical educators enhance the performance of individuals, students, athletes, or clients/consumers. Prerequisites: EXSC 210 or Instructor's Permission. (3)
This course introduces the basics of strength training and conditioning. The principles of exercise science will be implemented and customized to individual and group workouts. Further, the course emphasizes anatomy, exercise physiology, biomechanics, nutrition, program design, testing, exercise technique, and evaluation. Physical fitness testing will involve weight training, plyometrics, aerobic training, ergogenic aids, and flexibility training.
EXSC 320Measurement and Evaluation in Exercise Science
Designed to develop an understanding of measurement and evaluation theories, concepts, and practices in exercise science earmark this course. Examining the validity, reliability, and feasibility of current assessment techniques in exercise science, measured by using basic statistical analyses and practical computer applications. Prerequisites: EXSC 210,BIOL 241 (3)
This course provides students with the theoretical bases of fitness appraisal and exercise prescription, when combined with practical experiences, it will enhance the understanding of fitness assessment. Students will gain knowledge in test administration and interpretation, screening, emergency procedures, and exercise prescription. The testing will involve aerobic assessment (treadmill/ergometer), ECG, body composition, musculoskeletal, and cardiorespiratory.
This course introduces the concepts, principles, and theories connected with the performance of motor skills applied in the areas of sports performance and physical activity. Additional concepts include how skilled movements are learned, maintained, and enhanced and explored some of the primary physiological, biomechanical, behavioral, and cognitive influences that affect the quality of skilled performance. Prerequisites:BIOL 241 , PHYS 243 (3) Capstone (12)
This course design explores concepts of physiological functions of the human body during physical activity, exercise, and stress. AS the subject indicates, cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular, ergogenic aids, performance, nutrition, sex differences, body weight, physical activity, and neurological control of movement dominates class lectures to determine their effect on physiology. Prerequisites: EXSC 210, BIOL 241, PHYS 243, CHEM 141 (3)
The basic principles of biomechanics and their application to human movement headlines this introductory course. Several analyses are conducted on the efficiency of movement involving mechanical and anatomical principles and their application to human movement. Prerequisites: BIOL 241 PHYS 243 (3)
This course provides students with an understanding of clinical exercise testing and prescription for healthy and diseased patients. In addition, students gain knowledge of cardiovascular, pulmonary, metabolic, musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, and immunogenic systems. The students will learn pathophysiology and exercise responses in several populations and align results with the standards of Clinical Exercise Physiologists and the American College of Sports Medicine. Students will evaluate applicable exercise assessment techniques in the laboratory and clinical settings.
EXSC 430Organization and Administration of Exercise Science
(3) This course presents an overview of organizational and administrative issues relative to the planning, design, and management of exercise science, health, and wellness programs. Opportunities will be provided to observe and evaluate current exercise science programs and facilities. Analysis and application of core management leadership skills in managing personnel, equipment, subjects, and research protocols will be evaluated and presented. Prerequisites: Senior or Instructor's Permission. (3) 235
Practicum provides opportunities for students to obtain practical experience in clinical, research, and job settings related to the field of Exercise Science. It also enables the Exercise Science program to evaluate the student's skills, knowledge, and performance. Prerequisites: JUNIOR or Instructor's Permission (1)
his course provides students with a culminating field-based experience that is designed to implement the knowledge gained from the Exercise Science program. Students will obtain an internship within their desired career field. This course will enable students to obtain the necessary hours to qualify for national certification exams and gain the hours needed to apply to occupational and physical therapy programs.
