This course introduces students to theoretical and applied aspects of sports coaching. Through active participation students will learn how to create a positive sporting environment by utilizing athlete-centered coaching strategies. Students will also learn how to evaluate and improve their own coaching performance by applying reflective and evaluative skills. Topics covered include coaching, training and management principles, coaching pedagogy, coaching science, planning, skill learning and sports psychology. At the completion of this course student will be more confident and knowledgeable in their coaching practice and have a foundation of a personal coaching philosophy. In summary, the approach in this course is toward teaching the student the theory, principles, concepts, and practices that can be applied in the dynamic, ever changing, challenging, and rewarding field of coaching.

Principles in athletic training for prevention/care of injury. Taping/bracing techniques. Lab. prereq: [3027 or ANAT 3001 or ANAT 3601 or ANAT 3611 or equiv], [CEHD student or instr consent]

This course prepares students to understand and systematically design training & conditioning programs for health and/or performance. The course addresses general training principles, such as periodization, adaptation, accommodation, specificity, and overload, and explores how an understanding of the 3 energy systems responsible for producing energy for exercise (the aerobic, anaerobic glycolytic, and ATP-PCr systems) can be applied to training and conditioning. Additional topics include the muscular and neuromuscular systems, physiological, and performance adaptations, repeated sprint ability, energy system interaction, measurement and evaluation of fitness, and strategies for maximizing adaptation to training. Students will gain an understanding of physiological adaptations and apply them to improving health and performance in sport and physical fitness. Enforced Prerequisite: Enrolled in Kinesiology Major, Physical Activity and Health Promotion Major, Sports Coaching Minor, Physical Activity and Promotion Minor, Sport and Exercise Science M.Ed, Physical Activity and Health M.Ed, or Integrated Degree Program

Kinesiology 3027 is a 4-credit introduction to human anatomy with two 50-min lectures and one 100-min lab per week. Upon completing this course, students will be able to use proper anatomical terminology and identify the majority of the human anatomical structures and their functions. The lecture series is organized around an organ systems approach and currently follows the text of Human Anatomy. The lectures are divided into basic anatomy and human development principles and the major anatomical systems: skin, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, neurological, endocrine, immune, and digestive. Each section proceeds an anatomic description from the microscopic or cellular level to the key features of tissues that aggregate into organ anatomy (bottom up). The kinetic anatomy perspective describes organ systems' dynamic and functional characteristics based on their component organ anatomy and interactions (top-down). The context for course material covered will reflect a kinesiology focus on human movement in exercise and sports. This will better prepare students for graduate school courses in the health sciences, movement sciences, and Athletic Training. In addition, students will be encouraged to learn their anatomy as a health and preventive medicine skill. The laboratory component is divided into two; one identifies cells, tissues, and bones and the different bone parts. These activities are performed in the Human Performance Teaching Laboratory (HPTL) in Mariucci Arena 141. Laboratory activities include using light microscopes to identify cells and tissues and working with individual bones and intact skeletons. The second component is the cadaver lab at the Anatomy Bequest Program. Students will have the opportunity to visualize and identify anatomical structures in cadavers and cadavers specimens during these labs. The cadaver labs provide students with the three-dimensional organization of the human anatomy and the association with neighboring anatomical structures. The instructors will demonstrate the functional anatomical aspects and clinical anatomical correlations. Students are able to further complement their understanding of human anatomy by using anatomy and physiology virtual labs.

Developmental aspects of human movement behavior/learning. Life span change of motor skills. prereq: Kin major or instr consent

Experientially-based course. Using mental skills training strategies (e.g., imagery, goal setting, relaxation, cognitive restructuring, motivation) for enhancing sport performance and personal growth of athletes.

This course is designed to provide the student with knowledge pertaining to the various aspects of organization, management, and administration within the sport industry. Students will have the opportunity to hear, learn, and share viewpoints as they relate to sport management through lectures, discussions on current events, and case study analysis. prereq: SMGT major or SMGT minor or CEHD IDP or instructor consent, and 45 credits completed or in progress.

Information and learning experiences presented in this class will cover specific areas within the discipline of Exercise Physiology. This course is designed for the advanced undergraduate student in Kinesiology, as well as advanced students in such complementary areas as public health, nutrition, physiology, biology, biochemistry, or any sport? related areas. It creates a great opportunity to combine the science of biological, biochemistry, physics and physiology with the study of health, fitness, wellness, human performance, and sport. Emphasis is placed on basic human physiological systems and the responses of those systems to the challenge of physical activity: from moderate to extreme intensities. The biochemical bases of these responses will be presented. Historical, psychological, sociological, and philosophical implications of these topics will be integrated into many of the lecture/discussions. In addition to lecture information, students will be provided a "hands on", small group laboratory experience that is carefully orchestrated to track lecture material and presentations. prereq: KIN 3385 or PHSL 3051 and Kinesiology Major or Physical Activity and Health Promotion Major
