Topics include types and means of supervision, staff relationships, teaching assignments, observing instruction, supervisory conferences, and teachers' meetings. Cellular Aspects Focuses on metabolic and muscular aspects of exercise, primarily addressing cellular mechanisms that explain physiological responses and adaptations occurring with exercise. Discussion of related endocrinological issues and performance-enhancing agents augments presentation of basic cellular material. Data collection using key pieces of laboratory equipment is selectively integrated. Systemic Aspects Focuses on cardiovascular, pulmonary, thermoregulatory, immunological, and renal aspects of exercise, primarily addressing the physiological responses and adaptations these systems undergo with exercise.
Data collection using key pieces of laboratory equipment is integrated into the course.
Pending New York State approval. Musculoskeletal function, coordination and motor skills behavior, and body composition are examined as they influence performance decrements, physical dysfunction, pain, and the ability to perform ADLs. Also examined are evaluations of physical function and alternative approaches to movement training so as to enable appropriate recommendation or referral. Pending New York State approval. Normal and abnormal electrocardiographic responses to exercise are discussed in detail.
