The course offers an excellent balance of theory, research, and application and places an emphasis on exploring exercise science through the female lens.
Hour(s) Examination of the methods of teaching sport skills in a competitive environment. The purpose will be to promote athletes’ growth, development, and learning, while developing the skills necessary to lead a sport program. Emphasis is placed on developing leadership skills necessary to lead a sport program. Theoretical research on healthy teams, teamwork, competitiveness, and gender will be explored.
Hour(s) This ½ semester course covers American Red Cross First Aid/CPR/AED for the adult and pediatrics. Successfully passing written and practical exams will result in Red Cross certification. This course does not fulfill the activity requirement.
Hour(s) Independent study under the guidance of a faculty advisor. Open to students with a 2.0 cumulative grade point average and permission of the chair of the department. Independent study may take the form of readings, research, conference, project, and/or field experience. Independent study may be taken for a total of twice, the maximum in any one term being four semester hours. Search techniques and preparation of materials utilized for acquisition of employment and/or internships in exercise science and health fields. Internship process, policies, and procedures will be covered.
Hour(s) The EXER 210 course code is being removed. Please refer to the NUTR 210 course description. All EXER 210 listings in the catalog should be replaced with NUTR 210. Cross-Listed with EXER 210
Hour(s) This course emphasizes the unique nutritional needs for optimal exercise and sport training. Evidence-based nutrition recommendations will be discussed for performance enhancement, recovery, injury prevention, and improved overall health. The influence of gender on nutrition requirements for athletes will also be evaluated. Cross-Listed with NUTR 212
Hour(s) The content of this course includes (1) current physical activity guidelines for Americans, (2) health-related physical activity components and programming, (3) equity issues around physical activity participation, and (4) leadership skills for health and physical activity promotion. Students will support health-related physical activity, committing at least thirty (30) hours of service toward promoting physical activity in the community. Through course work and service, students will (1) develop leadership skills in a community setting, (2) apply information from guidelines and peer-reviewed articles to support their service, and (3) challenge their own assumptions, attitudes, and beliefs surrounding physical activity participation and equity. May be repeated once with permission of the instructor.

Hour(s) This course is designed as an introductory course to the field of sport and exercise psychology. The course will examine the theories and research related to sport and exercise behavior, and includes an overview of the major topics of sport and exercise psychology. These could include but are not be limited to personality, motivation, self-efficacy, goal setting, stress, and rehabilitation. A focus will be on enhancing participation and performance through practical applications of theory.
Hour(s) This course offers a critical survey of the origins and historical evolution of modern women’s sports in the United States. The course will consider the social and cultural variables which influenced and shaped athletics for females, famous historical figures and moments in women’s sport, and the significance of the contemporary women’s sports revolution. Particular emphasis will be placed on the obstacles faced by female athletes.
Hour(s) An introduction to the theoretical and practical approach to caring for injured and ill athletes. Topics include emergency procedures and safety skills; preventive procedures in athletic training; the duties and qualifications of athletic training personnel; and an understanding of the importance of physical conditioning for prevention of injuries. The course includes demonstrations and practical experience in taping and bandaging techniques. Course fee will apply.
Hour(s) This course presents an overview of organizational and administrative practices relative to health and fitness settings. Students will gain knowledge necessary to manage personnel, facilities, and finances. Legal issues and marketing techniques will also be discussed.
Hour(s) An opportunity to use the knowledge and skills learned in coursework to gain experience in a real work setting. The apprenticeship aspect of the internship implies that the student has some base of knowledge and will increase her knowledge and skills by direct contact with an experienced, knowledgeable mentor working in an exercise science or allied health field. Open to juniors and seniors with at least a 2.0 cumulative average; admission by application only.
Hour(s) An opportunity to use the knowledge and skills learned in coursework for an approved coaching experience of 80-160 hours at the youth, community partnership, junior high, high school or college level. The student will work with an experienced, knowledgeable mentor in an approved setting. Open to coaching minors who have completed all other coursework; admission by application only. Exercise Science majors may, with permission of the program director, satisfy the internship requirement through EXER 270 .
Hour(s) This ½ semester course covers American Red Cross First Aid/CPR/AED for the adult and pediatrics. Successfully passing written and practical exams will result in Red Cross certification.
EXER 290Honors Independent Study Exercise Science3-4
Hour(s) Advanced independent study in Exercise Science under the guidance of a faculty advisor. Normally open to juniors and seniors with a 3.5 average in exercise science. Subject to the approval of the chair of the department. Honors work may be taken a total of twice for a maximum of 8 semester hours.
Hour(s) This course studies the physiological response of the human body to physical activity. The acute and chronic responses to the muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory and other systems of the body are examined. Laboratory experiences will involve the application of concepts regarding the human body’s response to the stress of exercise, sport and long-term physical training. Two lectures and one, two-hour laboratory per week.
Hour(s) This course is a study of the anatomical and mechanical bases of physical activity with emphasis on the analysis of sport and exercise skills. Content also includes understanding muscular imbalances, physiological support systems, body types, movement behavior, and movement efficiency.
