451. Meeting Preschoolers' Needs Through Movement Activities. (1. s.h.) The study of low organized games as a growth and development tool of the 3-5 year old child. Topic: Eric Erikson's first three stages of development.
455. Creative Approaches to Teaching Physical Education. (3 s.h.) For elementary and secondary physical education teachers. Focuses on fostering creative behavior in learners. Developing an understanding of creativity and the creative person. Links established between creative learner behavior and the teaching behavior with which it is associated. Participants practice and receive feedback about their teaching behavior.
466. Underwater Photography. (3 s.h.) Prerequisite: basic diver certification or permission of instructor. The purpose of this course is to prepare basic/advanced divers and skin divers in underwater photography. The course will introduce basic photographic concepts and develop skills and knowledge in underwater photography. The course will advance to composition and the creation of underwater photography as an art form. Principles and practical applications of underwater photography will include underwater cameras, housing, lighting systems, lenses, films, composition, maintenance, matting, and framing. Requires a portfolio of underwater slides from the pool produced by the student.
473. Introduction to Movement Analysis. (3 s.h.) Prerequisite: PE 202 or equivalent. Includes basic mechanical analysis techniques and experience with common instrumentation systems such as cinematography, videography, electrogoniometry, and electromyography.
502. Applied Exercise Physiology: Cardiovascular Function. (3 s.h.) Prerequisite: PE 310 or 410 or equivalent. Cardiovascular dynamics at rest and in response to muscular work of varying degrees of intensity. Properties of the vascular system, functional anatomy of the heart, electrocardiography, peripheral vascular control, and the effect of training on the cardiovascular system.
504. Supervision and Administration of Physical Education. (3 s.h.) Focuses on the supervision of teachers and the management of aspects of the program such as equipment, facilities, scheduling, and public relations. Emphasis on improving the teacher-learning process, human relations, organization, communication, delegation, and promotion. Problem solving approach used.
506. Psychological Bases of Motor Behavior (3 s.h.) Prerequisite: PE204 or consent of the instructor This course focuses on the psychology of motor behavior, with particular emphasis on motor learning and motor development.
507. Psychology of Kinesiology. (3 s.h.) Prerequisites: PE205 or consent of the instructor. This course focuses on the basic psychological variables which influence, and are influenced by, human movement activity. A diverse set of topics within exercise and sport psychology is explored.
508. Sociology of Kinesiology. (3 s.h.) Prerequisites: PE205 or consent of the instructor. This course focuses on the social structural/contextual variables which influence, and are influenced by, human movement activity. Among the variables examined are the following: socioeconomic status, gender, race, ethnicity, sexual preference, dominant-subordinate perceptions, value formation and conflict.
510. Pedagogy in Kinesiology. (3 s.h.) This course provides the student with an introduction to pedagogy in higher education, preparing the student to become a more effective teacher/professor at the college/university level.
511. Cellular Adaptations to Exercise. (3 s.h.) Prerequisites: PE 310 or 410, 512 and 513 or permission of instructor. Control and regulatory mechanisms at the systems, tissue, and cellular levels during exercise. The biomedical adaptations produced by training discussed, with emphasis on regulation of protein synthesis and degradation in muscle, and metabolic regulation during exercise.
512. Applied Exercise Physiology: Neuromuscular Function. (3 s.h.) Prerequisite: PE 310 or PE 410 or equivalent. Skeletal muscle force as modified and affected by fatigue, velocity of contraction, neural factors, and training is studied. Force-velocity relationships are examined from a morphological basis involving fiber type, motor unit recruitment, and fatigue with applications to power output.
515. Graded Exercise Testing and Exercise Prescription. (3 s.h.) Prerequisite: PE 502 or equivalent. Enhances the knowledge and skills of persons interested in preventive and rehabilitative exercise programs. Exercise in the diagnosis, prevention, and rehabilitation of coronary heart disease, as well as the techniques of exercise stress testing. Emphasizes the development of exercise prescriptions from graded exercise test data.
537. Psychosocial Interactions and Skilled Performance. (3 s.h.) Research is reviewed and designed, with a focus on the enhancement of performance in both competitive and expressive settings. Applied sport psychology consulting programs are reviewed and designed.
540. Psycho-Social Analysis of Low Organized Games I. (3 s.h.) Analysis of the variables found within the human movement experience of low organized games. Students will learn to select, modify, and/or create movement activities to meet human social, emotional, cognitive, and physical needs.
550. Measurement and Evaluation in Physical Education. (3 s.h.) Investigates psychometrics as they apply to physical education. Assessments' role within education is explored, technology's impact on measurement and evaluation is examined. Psychomotor, cognitive and affective domains serve as the basis for constructing instruments and tests.
552. The Analytic Study of Teaching. (3 s.h.) Systematic study of the teaching process and environments for learning for analyzing student's own teacher behavior. Information from research on teaching in the psychomotor, cognitive, and affective domains introduced to support these conceptual frameworks.
554. The Physical Education Curriculum. (3 s.h.) Examines the meaning and purpose of curriculum, its components and levels, and basic curriculum writing skills. Emphasis placed on examining the scope and sequence of various organizing centers such as sport, fitness, movement, dance, aquatics, adventure, personal protection, social skill, etc.
555. Curriculum Development and Writing. (3 s.h.) Prerequisite: PE554. Focuses on the process of curriculum development and writing. Emphasis on constructing "teacher friendly" curriculum, relevant to students and society.
591. Humanistic Physical Education. (3 s.h.) Humanistic physical education as it relates to present practices and future developments within the field of physical education.
595. Seminar in Physical Education. (3 s.h.) Designed to study current issues, problems and topics in physical education. Focus on reviewing literature, conducting research, and discussing topics, with production of a paper to resolve or summarize the issue or problem.
618. Introduction to Environmental Physiology. (3 s.h.) Prerequisites: PE 410 and 502 or permission of instructor. Mechanisms of physiological response of healthy person to desert, arctic, mountain, and undersea environments. Effects of environmental stresses upon exercise performance. Principles of human thermoregulation are demonstrated in a laboratory setting.
619. Seminar: Physiology of Exercise. (3 s.h.) Prerequisites: PE 410 or equivalent and PE 511, 512, 513. Interrelationship of exercise and physiology. Physiological mechanisms underlying the human capacity for muscular work and stress are closely examined. Recent literature surveyed.
