Formerly: SME3347
The course will examine the principles of exercise testing and prescription (for healthy populations), as outlined by the American College of Sports Medicine. Students will perform several pre-exercise evaluations and exercise tests that will provide direction and guidance toward the development of their exercise prescription to optimize fitness and athletic performance in healthy populations. Students will be required to administer a battery of fitness tests to assess and evaluate each component of health-related physical fitness. Laboratory experiences will be designed to provide students with hands-on learning experiences.
