Examines the nature and causes of disabling conditions and the motor needs and tolerances associated with these conditions. Enhances experience and skill in planning, assessing, prescribing, teaching, and evaluating instruction for individuals with disabilities in both school and non-school settings

Examines current approaches to the management of medical emergencies. Cardiopulmonary disorders, temperature-related injuries, poisoning, hemorrhaging, diabetes, emergency childbirth, epilepsy, fractures, and shock are presented. Investigates the components of a comprehensive emergency medical care system. Students are certified in CPR and First Aid.

Studies the science of human movement in the context of muscle actions and the application of forces through levers of the musculoskeletal system. Analyzes fundamental human movement patterns, such as gait.

This course is an advanced seminar that will examine recent research findings in Exercise Physiology and related fields. Individual responses to exercise will be discussed and the impact of genetics, gender, age, and ethnicity on exercise/health related outcomes will be addressed. Prerequisite: restricted to Kinesiology graduates and undergraduates.

This course provides a foundational understanding of metabolic and physiologic responses to exercise. Emphasis will be placed on the role of exercise and nutrition to enhance strength and endurance for human performance. Prerequisites: BIOL 3410 and BIOL 3420 OR BIOL 2060 and BIOL 2070 OR NUIP 2060 and NUIP 2070

This course will address the underlying neuroanatomy associated with cognitive function in healthy individuals as well as those with neurocognitive/psychiatric pathologies and diseases. Throughout the semester, students will become consumers of cross- disciplinary research addressing the influence of physical activity and cognitive function.

This lab is intended to provide students with hands on experience to learn human anatomy. The lab primarily involves work with human specimen prosections and will cover only gross anatomy of the muscular, skeletal, and nervous systems. .

A systematic approach to human anatomy with emphasis on the interdependence of structure and function in the skeletal, articular, muscular, nervous, cardiovascular and digestive systems. A laboratory experience is included.
