Graduation Competency 2

All students completing the upper division Kinesiology degree program should:

understand the biological and physical bases of movement and the changes that occur across the life span, within diverse populations, and under a variety of environmental conditions.

Objectives

Outcomes

Example 1 Complete coursework in biomechanics, exercise physiology, and behavioral aspects of movement. Transcript.

Example 2 Apply theoretical knowledge and scientific methodology to movement: collect data in a laboratory setting; conduct project to compare skilled and unskilled movement; determine appropriate tests, select equipment and administer test. Written lab report that includes methodology, results and conclusion sections; written paper describing comparisons; practical examination to determine proficiency in procedures.

Example 3 Learn theoretical knowledge underlying the scientific principles relevant to human movement: use principles to analyze movement; identify the physiological, mechanical, and anatomical factors important to sports or physical activity performance; field or laboratory experience that focuses on identification of factors affecting fatigue in varying environmental temperatures; observational project comparing physiological, anatomical, or mechanical factors in different populations. Written analysis paper; written paper discussing importance of various systems (cardiovascular, bioenergetic, etc) in performance of a self-selected sport or physical activity; laboratory report addressing observed phenomenalaboratory report addressing observed phenomena; written report detailing observations and noting impact of factors in different populationswritten report detailing observations and noting impact of factors in different populations.

Ideas from Previous Conferences

Objectives

Outcomes

1 Complete core and specialization course work in the biological, physical, and behavioral foundations of human movement Readings in journals, texts, lab manuals, exams, papers, projects

2 Complete an applied experience in a laboratory and/or field setting Participation in exemplary laboratory experience (Kuhn, 1962)

3 Synthesize biological, physical, and behavioral sciences in a capstone experience Complete experience in human movement problem solving requring cross-disciplinary solutions
