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

The course introduces practical and theoretical concepts of athletic injury. This includes an overview of athletic therapy and the prevention, assessment, acute management, and rehabilitation of injuries.

This course is designed to prepare students for CSEP-CPT Certification, the Canadian standard for the field of personal training. Students will gain both theoretical and practical knowledge in exercise prescription and counseling techniques. Students prepare for the CPT core competencies in counseling, motivation, and fitness, including exercise demonstration and technique, equipment selection, exercise prescription and modification, program design and planning. Upon completion, students will fulfill both the written and practical exams of the CSEP Health and Fitness Program, Personal Trainer Certification.

The course provides: an application of statistical methods to psychological problems; description of data in terms of averages, measures of variability and measures of relationships; correlation and regression; problems of sampling theory and statistical tests of hypothesis. Greater emphasis will be placed upon understanding the relevant principles than upon performing the mathematical calculations.

This course is an introduction to the study of how individuals view and affect one another in a social context. Topics covered include persuasion, prejudice, behaviour and attitudes, conformity, altruism, group influence, and attraction.

Psychology is a relatively young science but its history is varied, intriguing, and extends well beyond the first psychologists. From its roots in early philosophy, physiology, and medicine, through the dawn of evolutionary theories and radical behaviourism, to the cognitive revolution and modern neuroscience, we examine the trends, competing theoretical perspectives, and socio-political influences on the current discipline of psychology.

This course is an introduction to the neural basis of sensation, movement, learning, memory, motivation, and cognition as studies in both humans and other animals.

This course is an introduction to the psychological theories of learning. Topics discussed will include the evolutionary context in which learning occurs, reflexes and fixed action patterns, sociobiology, the behaviourist theories of classical and operant conditioning, criticisms of the behavioural perspective, and criticism of the transitional memory theories. This course is the first of a pair of courses in the field and is generally followed by the advanced course in cognition, PY2580.

This course investigates the major episodes of twentieth century history from World War I to the present, and identifies the major focus and ideas which arose from these events, including key political and economic ideologies.
