15 courses with the subject ESK, 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.
ESK 101Introduction to Exercise Science Introduction to Exercise Science will cover the history2
and development of Exercise Science and its relative components within sports, physical education, health, fitness, and kinesiology professions. Students will be introduced to current trends, characteristics, and content areas of exercise science, along with career and practice settings and opportunities.
ESK 206Musculoskeletal Anatomy This course introduces principles, terminology, and function3
of the musculoskeletal system. Specific topics will include joint movements, muscle action, and basic function associated with the neuromuscular system. Laboratory experiences will allow the student to visualize and demonstrate movement patterns associated with basic functional movement. Prerequisite: BI- 119 or ESK-106.
ESK 303Motor Learning & Control What do the acts of throwing a ball and tying your shoes have3
in common? They are both motor skills requiring the manipulation of your body in a specific way to achieve a goal. What else do they have in common? You have to learn how to do both well. In this course on Motor Learning and Control (MLC), we will learn about these two critical aspects of motor performance through the exploration of the neuroscience of movement, various theories of motor control, and what it means to learn a skill and effective methods and techniques of doing so. Prerequisite: BI-101 or PY-101, and sophomore standing.
ESK 310Exercise Physiology Exercise Physiology will introduce and investigate physiological3
responses and adaptations of the human body to exercise, as well as adaptations necessary to sustain and/or develop exercise tolerance. Concepts of cardiovascular and respiratory responses to exercise, energy production, metabolism, neuromuscular, will be investigated in laboratory settings. Prerequisite: BI-119 or ESK-106.
ESK 312Strength & Conditioning Strength & Conditioning will introduce students to the3
knowledge, skills, and abilities required of a strength and conditioning professional and to prepare them for the Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) exam. Such an experience and certification will facilitate recognition as a unique professional in Exercise and Sport Science programs, including the fitness industry. Prerequisite: ESK-206.
ESK 340Biomechanics Biomechanics will introduce and investigate the principles of mechanics3
and how they apply to human movement, including sports, injuries, and rehabilitation. Students will learn about the basic principles of mechanics, including kinematics, kinetics, and the laws of motion. Certain concepts will be investigated in laboratory settings. Prerequisite: ESK-206.
ESK 430Exercise Testing & Prescription Exercise Testing & Prescription will prepare students to3
understand the principles and practices of exercise testing and prescription. Students will learn how to engage in exercise prescription aimed to improve fitness and health outcomes, how to administer health and fitness assessments, and how to problem solve and make decisions. Prerequisite: ESK-310. Must have senior class standing.
ESK 498Exer Sci & Kines Practicum Capstone The Capstone will provide students with3
supervised experiences in Exercise Science or related discipline. The student will have the opportunity to apply their accrued skills and knowledge in an environment that requires hands-on professional practices by participating in a research opportunity or internship in exercise science. This course must be taken within the students last 30 credits at Juniata. Requires senior standing and instructor permission.
