Course Search
Courses may be offered in one of the following modalities:
- Traditional in-person courses (0–29 percent of coursework is delivered online, the majority being offered in person.)
- Hybrid/blended courses (30–79 percent of coursework is delivered online.)
- Online courses (100 percent of coursework is delivered online, either synchronously on a designated day and time or asynchronously as a deadline-driven course.)
- Hyflex (Students will be assigned to attend in-person or live streamed sessions as a reduced-size cohort on a rotating basis; live sessions are also recorded, offering students the option to participate synchronously or view asynchronously as needed.)
If you are enrolled in courses delivered in traditional or hybrid modalities, you will be expected to attend face-to-face instruction as scheduled.
PED 361: Kinesiology
3 credits
The effects of exercise upon the functioning of the various systems of the body and the relationship of exercise to health and fitness.
Learning Goals
1. Through quizzes students will be able to identify the actions, insertions, and origins of muscles2. Through exams and projects students will demonstrate their understanding of the biomechanical constraints of bones, muscles and joints3. Through exams and projects students will demonstrate their understanding of biomechanical Constraint, specifically the kinematics and kinetics influencing movement4. Through a project students will able to demonstrate their capability to perform a kinesiological analysis on a skill, which includes description and analysis of prime muscle movers and joints as the body moves through particular planes/axis5. Through a project students will demonstrate their ability to quantitatively analyze a motor skill as a function how biomechanical constraints affect the proper execution of a skill, which includes center of mass, velocity, acceleration, momentum, angular velocity, angular acceleration, center of gravity, balances, and laws of motion.6. Through a project students will be able to explain the biomechanical rationale for provision of cues for improvement of motor skill performance7. Through writing assignments and activities, students will demonstrate the ability to organize thoughts and communicate them through written expression.Reflective Practice:1. Through completion of classroom activities and discussions students will be able to demonstrate professional/personal dispositionsInclusive Community:1. Through project and students will be able to discuss how proper task design, feedback is important for all students and clients, including those displaying developmental delays
