Applying Kin Concepts to Real-World Health Challenges

This course is designed to bridge the Gen Eds and introductory kinesiology courses with upper-division classes and more focused study, and will provide opportunities for students to apply their scientific knowledge to real-world situations through work in teams. Additionally, there is a career development component designed to provide students with the necessary skill set to transition from students to successful careers in the field of kinesiology. Students will keep a logbook that reflects the evolution of their thinking throughout this course and a reflective summary based on this logbook will be due at the end of semester. Labs will provide hands-on learning related to delivery of exercise testing, health assessments, disease prevention/management, and exercise programming.
