Measurable Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to:
  1. demonstrate safe and effective use of the strength training equipment in a high intensity interval training workout;
  2. demonstrate an understanding of the three energy systems and their relationship to training;
  3. demonstrate a working knowledge of the aerobic and anaerobic target heart rate training zones;
  4. describe the relationship between body composition, nutrition personal health, fitness and wellness;
  5. demonstrate an understanding of metabolism and it’s relationship to exercise and activity;
  6. demonstrate a working knowledge of training principles and progresses in relation to their strength and fitness;
  7. demonstrate an understanding and importance of a proper warm-up before training and the aerobic and anaerobic energy systems;
  8. perform and explain exercises that enhance flexibility;
  9. recognize the symptoms of hypertension and pre-diabetes;
  10. demonstrate an understanding of the role of physical assessment in developing a personal fitness plan.
Course Content:
 Lecture
  1. Assessment of body composition
  2. Assessment of strength and cardiovascular fitness
  3. Exercises that address the core
  4. Exercises that address the abdominal area
  5. Exercises that address the hips and thighs
 
 Lab
  1. Care and safe use of equipment.
  2. Teaching progressions for strength training.
  3. Estimate target heart rate training zones.
  4. The three energy systems and their relationship to training.
  5. Muscular strength and lean mass in relation to overall health and well being.

Assignments and Methods of Evaluating Student Progress:
  1. List the six general body areas for which exercises should be included for a well rounded training routine. Provide an exercise example for each area.
  2. Read the chapter on blood pressure and blood sugar. Be prepared to discuss how these to measurements relate to pre-diabetes and hypertension.
  3. Read about the benefits of high intensity interval training. Be prepared to compare how this differs from a muscular strength training program.
  4. Read the chapter on cross-training. Be prepared to compare the benefits of cross-training compared to a single mode of aerobic or anaerobic training.
  5. Evaluate the changes you have experienced based on your physical assessment scores. Describe how these changes occurred based on the training principles reviewed in class.
  1. Body composition with the use of bio-impedance.
  2. Strength using the Cybex strength machines.
  3. Heart rate with the use of polar heart rate monitors.
  4. Flexibility
  5. During the course of the lab, the instructor will monitor each student to be sure that they are performing the exercises correctly. The instructor will monitor each student’s progress using improvement in heart rate, strength, flexibility, and body composition to develop a personalized fitness program.
  6. Credit based on attendance and fulfillment of the objectives of the course.
  7. Class Participation
  8. Attendance
Upon the completion of this course, the student should be able to:
  1. Student will demonstrate an understanding of functional strength
  2. Demonstrate either in written form, or orally, how to calculate their target heart rate training zone numbers.
