PHED 192 - Science of Injury Prevention & Human Performance

(1.50)

This course educates students on the science of injury prevention as it relates to physical fitness and human performance. This course studies injury prevention through performing a proper warm-up, identifying tight and weak muscles by performing a functional movement screen, performing a series of exercises and drills designed to prevent injury to the ankle and knee known as a ‘performance enhancement program’, and by studying balance training and proper guidelines and lifting techniques for strength training exercises. Each class will meet once a week for 4 hours in the evening. The course will teach injury prevention through lectures, group projects, and active learning labs. This course is repeatable for credit.
