HPR 240 - Advanced Lab Techniques and Assessment
Semester Hours: 3
Fall, Spring
The course will help the student develop critical thinking skills and clinical skills that are used to evaluate health and fitness status in both the apparently healthy and special populations. This information will help guide professionals in their implementation of appropriate, safe exercise programs, and to understand specific guidelines on how to monitor progress throughout an exercise/wellness intervention. The material presented in this course has been coordinated with that covered in the Exercise Prescription for Special Populations (HPR 241 ) course to allow students to fully understand the importance of coordinating exercise testing and prescription approaches in working with special populations. However, these courses do not need to be taken in the same semester. These courses, combined with other core courses in the graduate exercise physiology concentration will help students master specific knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs) associated with the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) certifications and job tasks of an exercise physiologist. Lab fee additional.
Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
