This course contains a great
deal of content and has a very high demand on time and retention of information.
Students should immediately contact the instructor if they are having
difficulty.
Because on the
technical/scientific and complex nature of the information in this class;
students must have ready access to the textbooks. The Kinesiology text will be used the first
half of the semester and the Exercise Physiology text will be use during the
second part. Specific assignments, lecture information and materials will be
made to these books.
