Theory, strategies, and best practices for teaching physical education to students with mental retardation, emotional/behavioral disorders, autism, attention deficit disorder, and multiple disabilities accompanying mental retardation.
To introduce interested students, professionals, and coaching licensure candidates to the psychological literature and latest techniques associated with coaching in an athletic setting.
Study of techniques of consulting in D/APE with the spectrum of individuals involved in the IEP process, including but not limited to: students with disabilities, general physical education teachers, other school professionals and support service personnel, families/parents, peer tutors, and community agencies, to enhance the learning of students with disabilities both within and outside the classroom setting.
The purposes of this course are to expand students¿ awareness of global sport management principles and obtain firsthand experience in international sport through studying abroad. The course will address ethics, marketing, event management, finance, and challenges/issues in international sport management.

The laboratory portion of this course will require the student to learn, practice, and be assessed on the psychomotor skills learned in HP 542. The application of clinical assessment psychomotor skills will be applied during the supervised clinical experience component of the course. This will provide the student with the opportunity to apply their skills in a real clinical environment on-campus, at small private colleges, at local high schools, in a hospital and clinic settings, and in emergency rooms and ambulance settings while being supervised by a preceptor. This course is designed for graduate athletic training students.

Content is variable and based on special topic.
Students will learn about Sport Tourism Theory and will apply those theoretical concepts through a hands-on experience with a Sport Tourism event. Topics that will be covered include sport tourism management, marketing, sustainability, research and issues/trends as well as the economic, social, and environmental impact of sport tourism.
Advanced study of metabolic, cardiovascular, and pulmonary responses to exercise, including adaptations to environmental stressors and activity-related risk factors for chronic disease. Emphasis is placed on bioenergetics, exercise prescription for aerobic and anaerobic performance, and the role of oxidative stress and cytokines in adaptation. Students will critically evaluate current research and apply evidence-based models to optimize performance and reduce disease risk.
- Programs:
A study of advanced laboratory methods in exercise physiology, including assessment of anaerobic power, body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, lactate threshold, and pulmonary function. Emphasis is placed on laboratory safety and emergency procedures (OSHA, BLS/AED), clinical monitoring skills (ECG, auscultation, tolerance tools), and equipment calibration. Students will collect, analyze, and present laboratory data in research-quality formats.
- Programs:
An in-depth study of the nutritional needs of athletes and active individuals with emphasis on evidence-based practice. Topics include macronutrient and micronutrient requirements, hydration, supplementation, and analysis of current research. Students apply nutrition science to performance, recovery, and health, while evaluating cultural and professional scope-of-practice considerations.
- Programs:
Students will gain an understanding of the anatomic and pathologic concepts necessary to assess musculoskeletal injury. The course is designed for athletic training and other health care related students.
This course provides an introduction to the profession of athletic training, as well as an overview of essentials principles of athletic training. Emphasis will be on the history of the profession, career opportunities and job settings; recognition, prevention, and care of athletic injuries; pre-participation physical exams, emergency preparation and procedures, environmental illnesses, tissue healing; proper selection, care, and use of protective equipment, taping, wrapping, bracing procedures. This course is designed for the graduate athletic training student.
Developing curriculum in physical education focusing on current theories and models, factors influencing curriculum, scope and sequence, scheduling, and assessing curricula.
Advanced study of neuromuscular physiology and the body's adaptation to resistance and power training. Emphasis is placed on theories of training adaptation, periodization models, and methods for developing strength and power across diverse populations. Students will critically evaluate current research, design evidence-based training programs, and apply physiological principles to optimize performance, recovery, and long-term adaptation.
- Programs:
Introduction to the concepts of descriptive and inferential statistics, applied and theoretical research, and validity and reliability methods used in the disciplines of physical education, human performance, and exercise science.
- Programs:
This course provides an introduction to both research methodology and statistical concepts in the discipline of human performance. This course focuses on the development of research design and choice of appropriate statistics to address a research question.
- Programs:
Best practices utilizing models of teaching, learning styles, and instructional strategies in physical education.
Hereditary and environmental factors of typical and atypical motor development across the lifespan.
The theory and application of the use of physical therapeutic modalities including cyrotherapy and thermotherapy, ultrasound, phonophoresis, electrical nerve stimulation, iontophoresis, diathermy, intermittent compression, traction, LASER, massage and manual therapies in the treatment of injury/illnesses suffered by athletes and physically active individuals. This course also includes the principles of tissue healing, pain and pain control. This course is designed for athletic training students.
This course will provide the student with the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to rehabilitate and/or recondition athletic and physically active patients who suffer a wide variety of injury, both surgical and non-surgical, associated with their activity(ies).
