Introductory wellness course based on a seven-component model of wellness: physical, emotional, social, intellectual, environmental, occupational, and spiritual well-being. There is an emphasis on self-evaluation, self-improvement, and integration.
This course will examine the advanced study of resistance training and anaerobic conditioning. Specifically, programs studied will have an emphasis on hypertrophy, strength and power. Topics may include bioenergetics, biomechanics, and adaptions to anaerobic training. (Prerequisite: BIO 155)
This course is designed for students to observe strength and conditioning principles put into practice by a strength and conditioning specialist. Students will also participate in a discussion group related to applications and concepts in strength and conditioning. (20 practicum hours required) (Prerequisite: WEL 202)
This course is designed for students to put principles of strength and conditioning into practice. The student will be expected to practice, demonstrate, refine and apply competencies gained in Practicum I. Discussions related to applications and concepts in strength and conditioning will be emphasized. (20 practicum hours required) (Prerequisite: WEL 205)
Introductory course designed to familiarize students with biochemical processes of digestion, absorption, and metabolism, as well as the contributions of various nutrients to the health of individuals at various ages; appropriate for pre-health professionals.
This course is designed to introduce students to the causes, effects, and potential solutions to stress and stress-related problems. In addition to class discussion, stress management activities will be incorporated into each class period including: deep breathing, progressive muscular relaxation, massage, visualization, guided imagery, meditation, yoga, NIA, Tai Chi, self-hypnosis, autogenics, and pet therapy.
A course which presents principles and practices of personal health and seeks to develop attitudes and habits necessary for healthful living.
This course provides an introduction to the topic of substance abuse prevention and intervention. The focus is on looking at substance abuse from a holistic perspective (social, psychological, and physical). Special emphasis will be placed on the role that the student can play in the prevention of substance abuse through community education and treatment of substance abuse through teaching healthy living skills.
Students will learn how to research, access, and create health education materials; various aspects of marketing and motivational techniques will be studied in the context of a variety of wellness settings. (Course fee $50)
An advanced look at nutrition as it relates to the special needs of athletes and fitness participants. Includes exploration of current issues including weight loss, weight gain, current diet trends, performance enhancement, ergogenic aids, sport-specific eating plans, and botanical medicine.
