Courses Description (each subject accounts for 3 credits):
Movement & Physical Development
This course deals with the quantitative and qualitative changes that occur during physical growth and movement skill development through the lifespan. It shows observational analysis techniques of fundamental movement patterns, considering the motor patterns characteristic of infants, children, adults and older adults.
Instructor: Stefan Batran
Physical Activity & Wellness
This course explores the influence of physical activity as an essential stimulus for the development of the social, emotional, intellectual, spiritual and biological principles of health. It explains how to design a healthy active program that promotes fitness, proper nutrition, and wellness.
Instructor: Stefan Batran
Monitoring Exercise
This course examines the qualitative observation of motor skill performance and the subsequent identification of discrepancies between the observed and desired response. It explores weighting, and measurement of body fat, prediction of physical work capacity and the measurement of the energy cost of various activities.
Instructor: Stefan Batran
Touch & Palpation
This course identifies the muscle and bone of the musculo-skeletal system, and integrates the knowledge of anatomy with the theoretical skills of palpation with emphasis on the muscular system. It explains the palpation of bony landmarks and superficial muscles.
Instructor: Stefan Batran
Biomechanics
This course provides an analysis of body motion, motor learning and performance. The principles of biomechanics are applied to: muscle mechanics, the evaluation of body motion efficiency, postural and soft tissue dynamics and prescription exercise.
Instructor: Stefan Batran
Human Biology
This course explains the development of cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems integrating molecular biology, genetics, ecology, evolution, and diversity. It covers topics in biology of particular relevance to humans and to human health and disease and describes how the organism is maintained and repaired.
Instructor: Daniel Scott Janik
Human Anatomy & Physiology
This course describes the gross and microscopic structure of each system of the human body and the integration of these systems within the entire body. It explains the organization and function of the human body as a whole and the interrelationships of its various systems.
Instructor: Alfredo Fernandez Blanco
Physiology of Exercise
This course examines the principles of physiology applied to human movement. It explores energy metabolism of human muscle, red and white muscle fibers, neurological aspects of human movement, muscle contraction and fatigue, respiration and circulation. It considers the evaluation of physical work capacity, physical training, some aspects of nutrition and physical performance, temperature regulation, and factors affecting performance.
Instructor: Stefan Batran
Massage Techniques
This course examines massage practice as a therapeutic remedy for various ailments. Specific applications are given for the relief and treatment of several pathologies, deformities, disorders, and pains. It reviews different massage principles and techniques from Western and Oriental cultures, and explains how massage enhances the healing and recovery effects of other therapies.
Instructor: Stefan Batran
Physical Therapy
This course provides a comprehensive knowledge of physical therapy for treatment of injuries, bodily weaknesses and defects through physical remedies such as massage, exercise, gymnastics, light, heat, cold, water and mechanical devices. It presents the physiological benefits of exercise in the correction of structural imbalances and the value of stretching, deep breathing, yoga, aerobic and non-aerobic activities for maintaining optimum health.
Instructor: Stefan Batran
Therapeutic Exercise
This course reviews exercise as a preventive and therapeutic tool. It shows the physiological benefits of exercise in the correction of postural and structural body imbalances, the value of stretching, deep breathing, yoga, aerobic and non-aerobic activities.
