Algebra based course primarily for students in life, environmental, and medical sciences. It guides the student through two distinct types of motion: motion of matter (particles) and wave motion. Vectors, forces, bodies of equilibrium, review of kinematics and basic dynamics; conservation of momentum and energy; circular motion; vibrations; elastic waves in matter; sound; wave optics; black body radiation, photons; de Broglie waves. Examples relevant in environmental, life and medical sciences will be emphasized.

This course is a continuation of PC1240 for students in life and medical sciences. Fluid statics and dynamics, gases, kinetic interpretation; electrostatics; currents and circuits; magnetic field; electromagnetic induction; nuclear radiation, its interaction with matter and application.

Geometrical optics, optical instruments, oscillations, waves, sound, interference, diffraction.

Kinematics and dynamics of particles; gravitation; work and energy; linear momentum; angular momentum; systems of particles; introduction to dynamics of rigid bodies.

This course provides an overview of elementary mechanics and dynamics, as well as elementary chemistry and thermodynamics, covering topics such as forces, moments, equilibrium, velocity, power, and energy, as well as properties of materials, stress and deformation, power transmission systems, and thermodynamics principles.

This course covers a range of topics in applied mechanics including forces and friction, work, power, energy, linear and angular motion, simple machines, pressure, density, and flow. In thermodynamics, heat, state change, calorimetry, thermal expansion, heat transfer, steam properties with calculations and gas laws with calculations will be covered.

Introductory study of human anatomy. Students learn structural and functional components of selected systems of the human body.

This main focus of this introductory course is cellular functions in the human body with special emphasis on systems that respond and adapt to exercise stress.

The focus of this introductory physiology course is systemic functions in the human body with special emphasis on integration of these functions. Whenever possible, the responses and adaptations to exercise will be used as a foundation upon which the concept of integration will be discussed.

The course explores the study of play, physical education, recreation, sport and leisure as institutionalized ways in which society organizes and teaches attitudes and skills. It provides an introduction to the importance of sociocultural inquiry and the notion of being critical as an empowering process.

This course provides you with the basic skills required to successfully administer a sport and/or physical education program.

The course will introduce students to the concepts of validity and reliability as they apply to quantitative research, measurement and evaluation in physical education, sport, exercise science and leisure contexts. The course will focus primarily upon inferential statistical procedures that are used to organize, summarize and interpret information.

This course is an individual-based analysis of personal health and wellness issues. The emphasis is on planning and managing your own lifestyle for health and well-being.

This course will take multidisciplinary approach to introduce students to fundamental movement skills and factors that impact human movement.

This course examines the biological foundations of physical activity/exercise and the components of health-related physical fitness as compared to health, chronic disease and performance; and explores physical activity guidelines and exercise prescription for healthy adults.

The lecture, laboratory experience and supplementary readings are designed to promote an understanding o the physiological responses to acute and chronic exercise. Successful completion of the course requirements will enable one to understand the basic function of various physiological systems; describe the various physiological changes that occur during acute exercise and the various adaptations to different forms of exercise training and environmental influence; understand the basic ergometry and other laboratory instrumentation for evaluating physiological responses to exercise; and experience exercise stress in a laboratory setting as a participant and tester.

The course presents a psychological approach to understanding human motor behaviour. You will examine the processes involved in learning motor skills and controlling movement and the factors that influence acquisition and performance.

An examination of the significant changes which have occurred in leisure and sport specifically over the last century and with particular reference to Canadian society.

The course presents a method of quantitative and qualitative analysis of human movement based on a knowledge of biomechanical principles.

This is an introduction to current trends in theory and practice in adapted sport and physical activity for diverse populations. The course includes a survey of diverse populations and their implications for service delivery.
