Human Performance

Catalog description

This course and its accompanying laboratory component explore the theory and practice of human performance. The course is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the principles of human performance. Emphasis is placed on the human body’s reaction to advanced training methods, exercise technique, program design, and testing and evaluation. Students also explore the principles of supervising a safe training environment according to National Strength & Conditioning Association (NSCA) guidelines. Many of the concepts and topics covered in this course help to prepare students to take the NSCA’s Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) exam, but this is NOT considered to be a preparation class for that exam.
