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.

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

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

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.
