Description

This course explores the principles of kinesiology, including biomechanics and exercise physiology, and their application in designing effective and evidence-based exercise prescriptions to enhance movement and function for individuals across the lifespan. Emphasis is placed on developing exercise prescriptions that address impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions in cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle performance, flexibility, gait, and balance to support the achievement of individualized patient goals.
