HHP 335 Integ Biomech & Exercise Phy I

Prerequisite: Completion or waiver of MAT 012; and BIO 101

Offered: Typically annually

The goal of this course is to provide a foundation of knowledge to allow students to be able to apply the content to optimize human performance in sports and physical activity. The content will include an integration of sub-disciplines, such as Anatomical Kinesiology, Biomechanics, and Exercise Physiology. The course will be divided into two parts, the first being basic introductions to the content and the second being a more detailed study of the content as it applies to Aerobic Sports, Intermittent Activities, and Anaerobic Sports and activities. Throughout the course, students will be required to write exercise prescriptions, write technical papers (laboratory write-ups), interpret literature of the disciplines, and understand statistical methodology. This course serves as a prerequisite to Integrated Biomechanics and Exercise Physiology II. It is a required course for all Physical Education majors and recommended to any student interested in studying the science of movement.
