Students acquire the knowledge and critical thinking skills that are essential to the development and continual evolution of a fitness and wellness plan focused on a healthy and active lifestyle. Students explore such topics as wellness, training principles, health-related components of physical fitness, benefits of these components, and learn to use and apply established fitness guidelines. Students learn skills necessary to create safe, complete conditioning programs while considering such topics as nutritional choices, safety and injury prevention. KINES 92 may serve as a stepping stone to lifetime fitness, participation in organized athletic events, and personal challenge activities. Students develop a holistic approach to training for endurance, strength, and integrated activities.
