4 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 102Introduction to the Exercise Sciences 3:3:0
Introduces students to the academic study of the exercise sciences. The course emphasizes exploring the specific theories, skills, and abilities required of practicing professionals in the fields of physical education, exercise science, sports medicine, and other related fields. Prerequisite: Eligibility for enrollment into ENGL 003 as a result of the College Placement and Testing Program.
EXSC 202Functional Anatomy and Exercise Physiology 3:3:0
Introduces the fundamentals of biomechanics and exercise physiology. The course emphasizes the anatomical and mechanical fundamentals of human movement and the physiological concepts related to acute and chronic exercise adaptations. Prerequisite: BIOL 121 and EXSC 102 with grades of C or higher. 291
Teaches the student how to conduct and interpret exercise-testing protocols. The course emphasizes how to evaluate the health-related components of physical fitness: cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition. In addition, liability and safety issues are also covered. Prerequisite: MATH 022 or higher, and PE 201 with grades of C or higher; Eligibility for enrollment into ENGL 101; Or approval from the Discipline Lead.
A comprehensive study of the extent and nature of body variations as a result of physical exertion. The student receives laboratory experience dealing with the oxidation processes of the body in terms of the utilization of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. The course includes an in-depth survey of neuromuscular, metabolic cardiorespiratory, and hormonal responses to acute exercise as well as the physiological adaptations to chronic exercise. Topics include thermoregulation, ergogenic aids, body composition, sport training, growth and development, and aging. Enrollment is restricted to students in the Exercise Science-Physical Education AS program. Prerequisite: EXSC 202 with a grade of C or higher.
