Physical Fitness and Exercise Progamming

HLTH 200, Physical Health and Wellness, introduces the principles of planning a personal fitness program. This 12-week course will focus on 11 different topics.
This course will consist of four modules that focus on (1) the importance of physical activity in relation to health and wellness, (2) the adaptations and benefits to exercising, (2) how to exercise effectively, and (4) how to design to implement a training program.

The course will give students the ability to identify quality training programs by applying the principles of training and specific program development concepts. This course is designed so that students receive feedback from their TAs/Instructor on formative elements of a training program catered to a mock case study. When completed, students should be able to utilize the course information to begin to design and tailor a personalized fitness and wellness program to their specific interests and needs.

Course content will be delivered primarily through course notes and videos. Additional readings and viewings, accessible via the timeline and the module overviews will periodically be provided to reinforce course material.
