HPR 238 - Fitness Testing for Athletic Populations
Semester Hours: 3
Fall, Summer
This is a practical course in which students will be instructed on how to select and conduct appropriate/sport-specific fitness assessments on athletic populations (e.g., body composition, muscular strength and power, aerobic fitness, etc). Students will learn how to utilize resources such as technology (e.g., apps, apparatus) to assist with assessment and feedback to athletes, as well as the logistical and sport-specific considerations in planning and implementing a test battery for individuals and teams. Students will also learn how to use information from fitness testing to help identify weaknesses and strengths, and design appropriate programs for a given client or athlete. This knowledge base is highly recommended for those wishing to pursue certification as a personal trainer or strength and conditioning coach (NSCA, NASM, ACSM, USAW, CSCCA-SCCC).
