Kinesiology Laboratory

Catalog description

This is a laboratory companion course coordinated with Kinesiology ( ESS2010 ) that introduces students to techniques and equipment used in kinesiology. Students take an inquiry-based, self-guided learning approach to the discovery of the structure and function of the human body with emphasis on the neuromusculoskeletal, cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal and genitourinary systems. This lab emphasizes the study of human posture and movement, specifically focusing upon the musculoskeletal system and dynamics of stability and mobility. Additionally, this laboratory course provides students with the opportunity to practice laboratory safety, design experimental procedures, collect data, analyze results and discuss conclusions.
