Course Descriptions/Exercise Science 307
2203. First Aid 2 hours
A study of the theory and practice of basic first aid, culminating in Red Cross certification in three areas: Community CPR, Adult CPR, and responding to emergencies. American Heart Association certification in CPR for the Professional Rescuer is an additional certification that is mandatory for Athletic Training.
2301. Anatomical Basis for Physical Activity 3 hours
Prerequisite: BIO 1340, BIO 1140, BIO 1341, BIO 1141
A study of the gross structure of the human body with emphasis on the relationship of skeletal, muscular, and neurological anatomy and function as it relates to sport performance and injury evaluation.
2304. Data Collection 3 hours
The study of the evaluation process in exercise science including data collection, analysis of common fitness tests, and application of norms and criteria.
2378. Aquatic Sport—Divemaster I 3 hours
Prerequisite: EXS 1179 or Rescue Diver Certification, instructor approval
Objectives of Divemaster I are to begin training certified rescue divers with the knowledge and skills to organize, conduct, and supervise recreational diving activities. Rescue diver certification required.
2379. Aquatic Sport—Divemaster II 3 hours
Prerequisite: EXS 2378, instructor approval
Continuation of Divemaster I. Finalize training certified divers in supervising recreational diving activities. When completed, certified divemaster will be able to plan dives, manage, and control students in training under the direct supervision of a certified instructor. Certified divemasters are also able to lead dives and are qualified to begin ESS 3378 Assistant Scuba Instructor.
Prerequisite: BIO 1340, BIO 1140, BIO 1341, BIO 1141, EXS 2301, and EXS 3300 or concurrent enrollment
This laboratory course is designed to be an addition to the Biomechanics lecture course by providing the student with hands-on learning relating to the laws of physics relevant to human movement and the skills used in teaching and analysis of general and sport specific movement patterns. For maximum benefit, this course must be taken concurrently with the lecture (EXS 3300). Students who have previously completed the lecture with a grade of “C” or better may take this laboratory independently.
3100. Biomechanics Laboratory 1 hour
3300. Biomechanics 3 hours
Prerequisite: BIO 1340, BIO 1140, BIO 1341, BIO 1141 and EXS 2301
Analysis of internal and external forces acting on the human body and the effects of these forces. Special emphasis is placed on teaching motor skills in a physical education and athletic setting.
3304. Recreation Administration 3 hours
The study of organizational techniques necessary to school intramurals, city recreation programs, church and agency recreation, and similar endeavors.
3310. Fundamentals of Motor Development 3 hours
Fundamental principles of motor development and the integration of movement activities. The study of the principles of motor development from pre-natal stages through the aging population. Aspects of each stage of growth and development and associated motor patterns are presented and discussed. Also included in course topics is a detailed analysis of changes
