EXER 3100. Organization and Administration of Exercise ScienceExercise Leadership and Instruction. (3) Prerequisite or corequisite: EXER 1201 and an EXER major. This course introduces principles and methods of leadership. Includes programming and participation, teaching methods, assessment, supervision, and leadership for various types of individual and group health and fitness programs. This course will also review basic exercise science principles and provide the student with the knowledge and skills to lead a wide variety of related activities. (Fall)

EXER 3286. Exercise Testing:  Foundation and Theory Exercise Testing. (3) Cross-listed as ATRN 3286. Prerequisite: a grade of C or better in EXER 3280 or ATRN 3280 and EXER 3281 or ATRN 3281. Corequisite: EXER 3287. This course is designed to teach methods and protocols for collecting and interpreting information collected on individuals concerning various fitness parameters for the future development of individual and group conditioning programs. (Spring)

EXER 3287. Exercise Testing: Principles and Applications (3) (W, O)  Exercise Testing Lab. (1) Cross-listed as ATRN 3287. Corequisite: EXER 3286 or ATRN 3286. Application of principles with laboratory experiences and the development of writing strategies and oral presentation appropriate to the domain of exercise testing. The use of appropriate data collection methods and protocols.  Also to enhance the lecture material presented in EXER 3286. Practitioner lab in the use of appropriate data collection methods and protocols. (Spring)

EXER 4293. Biomechanics. (3) (W) Cross-listed as ATRN 4293. Prerequisites: a grade of C or better in EXER 3280 or ATRN 3280. This course provides an introduction to the study of physics principles as they govern human movement, as well as understanding how the neuromuscular system controls human movement. Additionally, this course covers the mechanical principles that underlie musculoskeletal injury, as well as the influence that gender and ethnicity may have on various musculoskeletal pathologies. (Fall
