Concept of Lifetime Fitness |
This course explores the fundamentals of maintaining an active lifestyle and creating habits that promote long-term health and well-being. In the course, students will explore, participate in, and discuss the benefits of engaging in various physical activities such as aerobics, yoga, and resistance training to enhance cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength, and flexibility. Students will learn to develop personalized fitness plans that incorporate nutrition and wellness principles. Understand the importance of physical activity in preventing chronic diseases and improving quality of life. |
EXS-300 |
This course provides a comprehensive overview of kinesiology, the scientific |
|
study of human movement. Students will explore the principles of |
||
biomechanics, anatomy, physiology, and motor behavior that underpin |
||
physical activity and exercise. Students will understand how the body moves, |
||
how physical activity affects health and performance, and how to apply this |
||
Kinesiology |
knowledge in various contexts, including sports, rehabilitation, and fitness. |

Kinesiology Lab |
This laboratory course provides hands-on experience applying the principles |
of kinesiology and biomechanics to human movement. Students will conduct |
||
experiments and assessments to analyze joint actions, muscle function, and |
||
movement patterns during various physical activities. Lab activities include |
||
gait analysis, electromyography, motion capture, and force plate testing. |
||
Students will learn to use equipment and software for quantitative |
||
movement analysis, interpret kinematic and kinetic data, and relate findings |
||
to efficient and effective human motion principles. This course reinforces |
||
concepts from the kinesiology lecture through practical application and |
||
develops movement observation, analysis, and assessment skills. Corequisite |

Physiology of Exercise |
This course explores the acute and chronic physiological responses and adaptations to physical activity and exercise. This course delves into the mechanisms underlying the body ' s responses to exercise, covering topics such as energy metabolism, cardiovascular and respiratory function, neuromuscular physiology, and endocrine responses. Students will examine the principles of training, the impact of environmental factors on performance, and the role of exercise in health and disease prevention. |
EXS-350L |
This laboratory course complements the theoretical concepts covered in |
|
Physiology of Exercise. Students will engage in hands-on experiments and |
||
activities to explore physiological responses to exercise, including |
||
cardiovascular, respiratory, and muscular adaptations. Emphasis is placed on |
||
data collection and analysis, results interpretation, and understanding of |
||
Physiology of Exercise Lab |
exercise physiology principles ' practical applications. Students will gain |
