Calendar Description

 

An extension of BPK 143, Exercise Management, designed to provide students with an opportunity to appreciate principles of exercise leadership, assess individual fitness needs, design programs and monitor effects of prescribed exercise.  The course includes a 34-hour practicum.

 

Extended Description

 

This course is designed to give students an in-depth knowledge of fitness evaluation and counselling.  In addition to examining the scientific validity of numerous fitness tests, the practicality of their use in the fitness industry will be discussed.  The course also covers the design of exercise regimes for the general public.  The course hopes to bridge the gap between academic and practical issues in the areas of fitness evaluation and appraisal.  This course is intended for any student who has an interest in the area of fitness evaluation and guidance, be that interest directed towards health care, research, the fitness industry or education.
