This course applies the principles of anatomy and mechanics to human movement. Students will learn major musculoskeletal prime movers of the trunk, upper and lower extremities. Students will also learn how to apply linear and angular kinematic and kinetic principles to human movement. Students will gain knowledge and experience in performing a biomechanical analysis of movement during an exercise or sport-specific movement.

ESS 360: Exercise Testing and Prescription

This course introduces principles of exercise testing and prescription based on best practices established by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). Students will gain knowledge and skills in performing pre-exercise screening, exercise testing, and exercise prescription for both healthy and special populations. Special populations include children, elderly, pregnant women, and those with metabolic, musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary, and other health-related conditions.

ESS 310: Sport and Fitness Coaching MWF 8-9:15 a.m.

This course will introduce a theoretical base for coaching in sport and fitness settings, including team sports, individual sports, and diverse fitness clientele. The course will include an overview of physiology, biomechanics, psychology, and sports medicine. Developing a coaching philosophy, establishing program culture, and successful coaching style will be emphasized.

This is a physical conditioning class focusing on the principles and practice of strength and resistance exercise. Technique and progression for use of different modalities of strength training is covered.
