Course Objectives: At the completion of this course the student will be able to:

  1. Interpret the ACSM Position Stand on quantity & quality of exercise and describe the physiological and psychological effect of physical activity on health.
  2. Define and describe muscular and neurological control of movement.
  3. Recognize factors contributing to basic energy systems and bioenergetics.
  4. Define and describe acute and chronic responses to cardiovascular and resistance training.
  5. Identify components of various physical conditioning programs and determine types of exercises that would be advantageous to physical outcomes; designing safe programs for specific populations.
  6. Apply the principles of performance optimization to specific athletic populations.
  7. Define and analyze the components of health-related physical fitness and administer tests to assess HRPF (aerobic capacity, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition).
  8. Compare and contrast the risks and benefits of performance and HRPF training associated with specific age and gender populations.
  9. Identify cardiovascular disease risk factors and physical/environmental risk factors associated with moderate and vigorous physical activity.
  10. Identify scientific theories related to sport/activity participation in various temperature extremes and altitudes.
  11. Recognize desired outcomes and potential risks of exercise programming for disease-specific populations.
  12. Demonstrate knowledge of physiological principles of physical activity, including biological sciences pertaining to the structure and function of the human body, human movement, and wellness (exercise, nutrition, and health-related fitness). {ALSDE .33(2)(a)1.(vii)}
  13. Educational competencies and/or proficiencies specific to the area[s] of Injury/Illness Prevention and Wellness Protection, Clinical Evaluation and Diagnosis, Immediate and Emergency Care, Treatment and Rehabilitation, Organizational and Professional Health and Well‐being for the Athletic Training Education Program have been matched with this course within the content of this course.

COMPLETION OF ABSENCE-RELATED WORK:

Make-up of any graded work may be granted at the discretion of the instructor,in cases of documented medical or family emergency.

In the case of absence due to participation in a college-sanctioned event, the student notification process is as follows:

  1. It is the student’s responsibility to complete an online notification form prior to the event (
  2. Verification of the student’s participation must be provided by the sponsoring organization (travel roster or similar documentation).

CLASSROOM CONDUCT:

Huntingdon College seeks to nurture wisdom, service, and faith. As a community of learners, we hold one another to a high level of conduct. Learning cannot take place in an environment of disrespect or disorder. In order to facilitate learning and discovery, Huntingdon students and faculty are expected to conduct themselves in a way befitting the 155 year-old tradition of Huntingdon College.

What faculty can expect from students:

  1. Students are expected to treat their peers and professors with respect. Students shall not interrupt their fellow students or professor. Derogatory or sarcastic comments directed at students or professors are never acceptable.
  2. Students shall attend all scheduled classes.
  3. Students shall bring all necessary books and other materials to every class.
  4. Students shall arrive for class on time.
  5. Students shall not leave class early or gather materials together until the class has ended.
  6. Students shall not engage in text messaging (receiving or sending) during class or talking on cell phones during class. If students have an emergency and must receive a message or call, they shall alert their professor at the beginning of class and then step out of the class to take the emergency call or message.
  7. Students shall refrain from Internet surfing during class. If a faculty member believes that a student is using his or her electronic device in ways unrelated to class, the professor may prohibit the student from bringing his or her computer to class.
  8. Students shall not talk with fellow students during class about topics unrelated to the course. Side conversations are distracting to one's colleagues and the professor.
  9. Students shall uphold the standards of academic integrity and the Student Honor Code.

Failure to adhere to these standards represents a violation of the Huntingdon College Student Code of Classroom Conduct and may result in students being asked to leave the class. Repeated violations that cause disruption to the learning environment may result in additional sanctions, including removal from the course or, in extreme circumstances, dismissal from the College.

What students can expect from faculty:

  1. Faculty shall treat all students with respect, regardless of differences of opinion or program of study.
  2. Faculty shall be well prepared for classes.
  3. Faculty shall grade students fairly based on the policies in the syllabus.
  4. Faculty shall return graded materials in a timely fashion.
  5. Faculty shall provide students with their current grade when asked.
  6. Faculty shall keep regular and consistent office hours.
  7. Faculty shall keep student information confidential.
  8. Faculty shall make every effort to alert students ahead of time if he or she must cancel a class.
  9. Faculty shall work with students to make reasonable accommodations to make up work missed as a result of a documented, excused absence.

ACCOMMODATION OF STUDENTS WITH DISIBILITIES:Faculty at Huntingdon College make every effort to accommodate unique and special needs of students with respect to speech, hearing, vision, seating, or other possible adaptations.
