EXSC 225Introduction to Exercise Science3
3 EXSC 240 Prevention and Care of Injuries Related to 3
This course will provide the student with skills in exercise leadership. The student will learn how to lead resistance training, flexibility training, cardiovascular training involving a variety of exercise modes, and group exercise, such as step aerobics. n Prerequisites: BIOL 240 or BIOL 250 AND MATH 102M or higher with a
This course is intended for non-exercise science majors. The course will investigate the metabolic adaptations, neuromuscular, endocrinological, cardiovascular and respiratory responses to acute and chronic exercise. Implications for health and physical performance will be integrated through applied exercise physiology. Specifically, the effects of different training modes, environmental factors, aging, disease states, nutrition, and ergogenic aids.
Final field placement required for all students with an emphasis in exercise science. Students will be placed in an agency to gain experience in methodologies, administration techniques, and programs specific to their area of emphasis. Minimum of 400 clock hours. (qualifies as a CAP experience) of all required courses in appropriate emphasis areas
The focus of this course is on a positive healthy lifestyle designed to enhanc the current and future quality of life. Topics include: proper exercise programs, healthful nutrition, stress management techniques, and avoidance of high-risk health behaviors in order to reduce disease risk and promote healthful aging. Various laboratory assessments are used to identify health status and recommend remedial approaches.
Exercise Psychology examines the dynamic influences that psychological factors, environmental factors, and exercise behaviors exert upon one another. The field of exercise psychology actively promotes evidence- based interventions guided by theory and behavior change techniques. e Utilization of the scientist-practitioner model involves the ability to consume and appropriately apply contemporary theory and scientific findings to the practice of applied exercise psychology. The content and assignments emphasize the theoretical and applied perspectives on the science and practice of exercise psychology.
EXSC 498Directed Research in Exercise Science ()1-6
Supervised research on a specific problem in exercise science. Regular meetings with faculty and a written/oral report are required. FAST - Filipino-American Studies
Emphasizes the role of nutrition as a means to enhance health and performance in sport. Topics covered include energy metabolism and nutrients, regulation of metabolism by vitamins and minerals, and weight control.
BIOL 240 or BIOL 250 and MATH 102M or higher with a C
EXSC 521Strength and Conditioning Applications ()3
A study of the principles and techniques utilized in optimizing physical performance and reducing injury through proper and effective strength and conditioning programs. Special emphasis will be placed on current research findings, breakthrough techniques, advanced weight training techniques, and popular conditioning practices.
EXSC 528Exercise Prescription for Chronic Disease ()3
A study of pathophysiology of common diseases with concentration in the design, implementation and administration of exercise prescription for a variety of chronic diseases.

EXSC 612Applied Research Methods in Exercise and Health
Science (3 Credit Hours) This course will prepare students to read, analyze, and apply research related to exercise science, performance, and health. Students will acquire experience in designing research proposals and gain fundamental knowledge related to research methodology. Specific topics covered may include experimental, quasi-experimental and observational research; validity and reliability; sampling strategies; principles of measurement; statistical analysis; and ethics of research.
Review of current physiological literature related to muscular exercise including the cardiovascular-respiratory system, metabolic effects of exercise, neuromuscular relationships, and the effects of training or diet, environment, ergogenic aids, temperature, attitude, and other factors on performance and health.
This course is an in-depth analysis of the role of nutrition in health and human physical and athletic performance. General areas covered include the role of the six major classes of nutrients in health and sport, physiologic an metabolic interrelationships, malnutrition, nutrition in growing and aging, and diet and nutrition in the prevention of disease.
Designed to provide detailed practical experience (200 clock hours) in an exercise science field setting. minimum graduate GPA of at least 3.0, and permission of the instructor
Study of the relationships among mechanics, energetics and control of human movement. Emphasis will be placed on the application of mechanical concepts in biomechanics research. Course includes laboratory assignments.
This course will focus on the endocrine responses to acute and chronic exercise and how neuroendocrine function relates to health and athletic performance. Emphasis is placed on the role of the endocrine system in regulating substrate utilization during exercise, energy balance, skeletal muscle plasticity, reproductive function, and the aging process.
