EXSC 1105Principles of Cardiorespiratory Training2
Intermediate course designed to provide students with knowledge and practice of cardiorespiratory training. Emphasis on understanding cardiorespiratory modalities, manipulation of volume and intensity, and effects on training adaptation and cardiorespiratory health. Students will experience various cardiorespiratory training concepts and modalities through in-class and out-of-class workouts.
This course is designed to provide students with knowledge and skill in the use of various strength training modalities. There is an emphasis on understanding the basics of training principles, demonstrating and teaching proper lifting techniques, and designing resistance training programs to meet a wide range of goal and ability levels.
This class covers a comprehensive program to increase the range of motion in joints, reduce muscle tension, and improve postural awareness through increased proprioception and joint stability with a regular flexibility exercise program. This course covers safe practice and enjoyable ways to increase muscular flexibility.
An introduction to philosophy, methods, and theories of coaching, basic physiology, psychology, sports medicine, pedagogy, and sports management. This course is designed to provide an overview of principles of sport-science as it relates to the coaching profession.
This course will focus on the anatomical, physiological and mechanical principles as they are applied to human movement. This course will emphasize the musculoskeletal and nervous system structures and functions into a practical application of the science of human movement.
The purpose of this course is to examine the physiological basis of exercise. The focus will be on the energy systems necessary for human movement, and the acute responses and chronic adaptations of the neuromuscular, endocrine, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems when exposed to the stress of exercise.
