    Examines the science behind skill acquisition in sport and explores the application of science to optimal training for achieving and retaining elite performance. Different theories will be compared to reveal how "perfection" is made by "practice." Prerequisites: Graduate standing with experience of taking undergraduate courses in Motor Behavior, Cognitive Psychology, Sport Psychology, or Coaching.
  • 3.00 Credits

    For graduate students who have general interest in understanding how the human perceptual system is coping with the human action system in performing skilled motor tasks. An overview of the existing theories and studies in the field will be provided with sufficient breadth and depth. Prerequisites: ndergraduate prerequisite course in one of the following areas: Motor Behavior (Motor Learning, Control, or Development; Cognitive Psychology; Human Biomechanics; Human Physiology.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This class is an in-depth study of environmental exercise physiology with special emphasis on how it is displayed in current research. It provides deeper physiological knowledge through the lens of how our physiology changes when confronted with environmental stressors. Students apply course content towards their own line of research. Prerequisites: Graduate standing or undergraduate with instructor permission.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This class will study exercise physiology with emphasis on current research. The goal is to provide deeper physiological knowledge through in-class lectures, out-of-class readings and projects. Following class, individuals should be more comfortable with understanding and applying concepts to their own line of research. Prerequisites: Graduate standing with experience in undergraduate courses in biology, exercise physiology, biochemistry, and/or sport nutrition.

    Teaches foundational electrocardiography to perform graded exercise stress tests (GXT), performance GXTs to health and diseased populations based on a health appraisal assessment. Knowledge used to develop comprehensive exercise prescriptions, make metabolic calculations. Emphasis on how physical activity, nutrition/weight management, and behavioral factors interact with exercise programming. Dual listed with KIN 4056. Prerequisites: completion of KIN 3010 and 3021; 2.5 GPA; CPR certification.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Designed to integrate and apply concepts acquired in core KIN and HLED courses (e.g. human physiology, health promotion, etc.) to the growing population of older/aging adults. Age-related pathologies are presented and discussed as is the scientific method. Dual listed with KIN 4062. Prerequisites: KIN 3021; minimum 2.50 GPA; junior standing.
  • 1.00 - 3.00 Credits

    Designed to develop Master of Science level graduate students into critical consumers of research. An additional purpose is to develop research skills to the level necessary to complete a master of science Plan B paper. Cross listed with HLED 5080. Prerequisite: graduate standing.
