This course is for students interested in health fields, sports, and exercise. In this course students will be introduced to the concepts and science behind exercise physiology. Students will learn introductions to basic bio mechanics, nutrition, muscle cell structure, energy pathway systems, adaptations to aerobic and anaerobic exercise, and training principles for muscle fiber types. Practical skills learned will include program design, pre-exercise evaluation, and exercise testing.
