EXS 365 - Testing and Prescription in Exercise Science

4 credits. E2.

This course is designed to provide the student with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to assess health-related physical fitness components and prescribe individual exercise programs for apparently healthy populations based on these objective measures.  This course will provide hands-on experience in the laboratory to supplement the classroom discussion.  Three lectures and four hours of laboratory per week.

The course introduces students to the global landscape of Islam and the broad spectrum of thought and practice in contemporary Muslim politics.  In order to enhance their classroom learning experience, students will spend up to 20 hours outside class interacting weekly with the local Muslim community in a service-learning based opportunity.  The objective is to apply abstract classroom learning about Muslim politics to the complex real life-situations and issues facing Muslim families in the Fargo-Moorhead area. PEAK required.
