Exercise Science

This course comprises the study of medical terminology, which is necessary for students to communicate clearly and comprehend the language within the health professions. Students will  understand and interpret information from the medical literature. This information will provide background and discussion material within the context of human anatomy and disease processes of body systems.

This course provides students with the classroom and practical skills needed to certify as a National Registry Emergency Medical Technician. Topics covered include, among others, medical terminology, patient assessment and stabilization, communication and documentation, incident management, and patient transport. Students will be certified CPR/AED during this course.

This course examines anatomy and mechanics as applied in the study of the human body during physical exercise, with a special emphasis on the analysis of motion in specific sports skills and exercise patterns.

This course examines anatomy and physiology as applied in the study of the human body during physical exercise. Application of physiological variables in specific sports skills and exercise patterns is emphasized.

This course is designed to prepare the student to assess musculoskeletal injuries as they occur with athletes or other physically active individuals. General principles of examination will include anatomical nomenclature, mechanism of injury, taking a history, observation, palpation, examination of motion, strength, neurological status, and rehabilitation techniques. At the end of the semester, students should be able to go through a complete examination and give an assessment of an injury in the affiated division of the body covered in this section of the two part course.

This course studies theory and application of selected methods pertinent to instrumentation, research, and  evaluation of data in exercise science. Emphasis will be taken to begin the focus and processes necessary to aid in the completion of the senior project.

Students will have a continued emphasis on methods helpful for the development, planning, and completion of the senior project. Students will also prepare a formal proposal for their senior project.

This course is a professionally supervised experience with a healthcare professional using evidence-based practice techniques and in compliance with the student’s scope of practice. A minimum of 50 hours of experience is required for each one credit. The course is graded as CR/NCR.

This course is an introduction to the literature of the allied and applied health sciences, including both research papers and review articles, and to the basics of scientific writing.

This course will emphasize the refinement of the senior project presentations. Students will have the opportunity for subsection presentations on their senior project to receive feedback from peers. A final presentation will occur in an appropriate format for the project chosen.

The senior project has the potential to begin in junior year and should be completed in the spring semester of the senior year. In the allied and applied health fields of exercise science, this project can be a variety of academic disciplines, including, but not limited to, research projects, literature reviews, community engagement initiatives, or business development plan.

This course is an administrative placeholder used to record a student's score on Comprehensive Examinations (CR/NCR).
