KINE 4410U – Practical Skills for Kinesiology Professionals

This course is designed to develop competency in practical skills required of entry level Kinesiology graduates. This laboratory intensive course will allow students to become qualified exercise professionals and will prepare them for examinations with groups such as the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology, the College of Kinesiology and the National Strength and Conditioning Association. The emphasis of this course will be on clinical evaluation skills, fitness assessment and exercise prescription for individuals across the lifespan, and across the health spectrum. Health, performance and work-related scenarios will be covered in most modules. Students are expected to become independent, confident and competent in clinical and non‐clinical exercise settings through online lectures, laboratory work and client work. Current research will be used to critically analyze popular fitness trends and current practices.
