This course is focused on the changing nutrition needs and eating behaviors during three distinct phases of the life cycle: (1) women during the preconception period and pregnancy, children's infancy, and childhood (0-21 years old), (2) adulthood, and (3) nutrition of the elderly population. For each of these phases, we will study the biological basis of energy, nutrient, and water needs and selected methods of health assessment.

As exercise scientists, can we analyze systems in the human body & design strategies to improve quality of life? Our study of physiology aims to explain the physical & chemical mechanisms that regulate the body. These mechanisms maintain homeostasis, relatively constant conditions that are compatible with life. This semester we begin speaking the language of physiology to communicate effectively with clinicians, medical staff & other scientists.

Assessment and Intervention of Injury II is designed to provide the athletic training student with a foundation to learn a systematic evidenced based approach to evaluation and treatment of Lower extremity injuries, exercise program development, techniques, indications, contraindications of exercise, exercise progression and analysis and application modalities in treatment and rehabilitation of injury.

This course introduces students to the principles of evidence-based medicine and clinical epidemiology and the interpretation of clinical research that assess prevention, diagnostic, and treatment strategies in sports medicine.

A foundation to learn a systematic evidenced based approach to evaluation and treatment of Head, and Spinal injuries, exercise program development, techniques, indications, contraindications of exercise, exercise progression and analysis and application of modalities in treatment and rehabilitation of spine and head injury.

This course is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of strength and conditioning throughout the life span. Emphasis is placed on the exercise sciences including: anatomy, exercise physiology, biomechanics, nutrition, exercise technique, program design, and testing and evaluation.

This course is designed to provide the student with on and/or off-grounds clinical experiences in athletic training and sports medicine. Observation and performance of professional skills under the supervision of a certified athletic trainer; focuses on psychomotor skills and clinical proficiencies introduced in KINE 5720 and 5750.

This course is a continuation of KINE 5745 Evidenced Based Sports Medicine I and continues to instruct the student on the principles of evidence-based medicine and clinical epidemiology with emphasis on the interpretation of clinical research that assess prevention, diagnostic, and treatment strategies in sports medicine.

This course is designed to provide the student with on and/or off-grounds clinical experiences in athletic training and sports medicine. Observation and performance of professional skills under the supervision of a certified athletic trainer or health care practitioner; focuses on skills and clinical proficiencies introduced in the previous semester with emphasis in general medicine.

Supervised field experiences for master's degree students under the direction of professional staff. Student should obtain approval from their advisor before registering for this practicum.

Independent Study for master's level students working in cooperation with a faculty member.

Despite routine recommendations on dietary intake and physical activity, the majority of individuals living in the US do not meet these guidelines. This course is focused on understanding human behavior and how dietary and activity behavior can be changed to improve public health. Special emphasis will be on factors affecting food selection and dietary intake as well as influencing consumer behavior.

The course provides fundamental clinical knowledge of commonly utilized diagnostic imaging and pharmacotherapies within athletic training. This information may be applied through an interprofessional approach to healthcare of the physically active requiring an understanding of normal and diseased states via various diagnostic imaging techniques as well as the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of prescription and over-the-counter drugs.

This course will provide the student with a foundation in Administration and Leadership within the Athletic Training profession.
