Food, Exercise, and Body Composition

Catalog description

The course provides the student with the opportunity to assess their current lifestyle pertaining to the nutrients consumed in the diet and the amount and type of aerobic exercise participation. Special emphasis is placed on developing an internal locus of control by actively involving the student in self-analysis activities, developing an understanding of nutrient intake and the culminating effects on personal health, and participation in an appropriate aerobic exercise program. This is an activity course. No more than four hours of activity credit may be counted toward graduation. A student registering for an activities course in excess of these limits receives no credit for the additional course and the grade is not included in the computation of grade point.
