Course work has been designed to assist students who desire to major in Exercise Physiology/Science, or Fitness and Exercise, and minor in, Sports Management, or Physical Education Teaching. The Exercise Physiology Emphasis is a program that focuses on the scientific study of the physiological processes involved in physical and motor activity. It includes instruction in muscular and skeletal anatomy; cellular mechanics of muscle contraction; and fuel utilization; as well as other physiological responses to exercise, muscular fatigue and exhaustion. Courses also cover muscle and body training, physiology of specific exercises and activities, and motor mechanics. After receiving a degree in Exercise Physiology degree, our graduates have a wide variety of opportunities, including attending graduate schools in medical, dental, pharmacology, physical therapy, occupational therapy, physician s assistant, and other professional health areas as well as graduate programs under Exercise Sciences. The Fitness and Exercise Emphasis is for students who plan to work after graduation or plan to pursue graduate work in an applied exercise field. It would be an excellent choice for individuals who desire a flexible career and ability to balance work and family life. Application-based courses have a heavy emphasis in providing experience wherein the student works with an individual or group in a trainer-client relationship, coaching, teaching, personal trainer, and others will benefit from this emphasis. The Physical Education Teaching Minor prepares students to teach in the secondary school systems. Courses prepare students in basic sport and fitness skills, physical education classroom management, and physical education administration. Students learn to effectively promote lifelong fitness through physical activity. The Exercise and Sports Science Minor focuses on the application of scientific techniques in exercise and sports with specific application to areas such as aerobic conditioning, personal fitness, strength training, and application of conditioning in community and private sports fitness programs. The Sports Management Minor helps prepare students who are looking for a career in athletic administration, sports business, and athletics. 22
