Prereq: PSYCH 101
Cross-listed as REC 307
An information processing model of perceptual-motor behaviour is presented. Human performance theory is used to study processes mediating input and output information. Specifically, the subprocesses of storage of information in memory, perception, retrieval of information from memory and execution of movement are examined.
Prereq: KIN 222, 255
A course focused on the bases and
applications of theories of motor learning.
Included are selected psychological and neurophysiological processes as they relate to these theories.
Prereq: KIN 222, 255
An analysis of the physiologic adaptations that occur in response to protracted physical activity and the influence of such adaptations on the response to work in a variety of environmental conditions. Special emphasis is given to the changes occurring in skeletal and cardiac muscles and the neuroendocrine mechanisms involved.
Prereq: KIN 300 and 317
An examination of man’s cardiorespiratory responses at rest and during work to selected stresses of hyperbaric and hypobaric environments.
Prereq: KIN 300
An examination of the rationale and procedures used in the development of exercise programs for normally healthy individuals.
Prereq: KIN 300 and 321
Disease . An examination of the pathology, risk factors and rehabilitation programs related to coronary heart disease. Major emphasis is placed on the cardiorespiratory implications of exercise in the rehabilitation process. Prereq: KIN 300 or equivalent Cross-listed as HLTH 407
An examination of the neural processes involved in the maintenance of posture and the control of movement.
Biomechanical methods are applied to the study of the effect on the human operator of selected work place tasks, personal equipment, and work space layout. Examples include the use of EMG and/or computerized models to analyse low back loading during manual lifting, the design of helmets, shoes and office chairs.
Prereq: KIN 425 (may be taken concur rently) or consent of instructor
The quantitative measurement and analysis of the movement of the human musculo skeletal system. Multisegment dynamic movements will be studied using existing computer programs, with emphasis on kinematics, kinetics and energetics, as well as the use of EMG in the assessment of the control of the movement. Examples are presented from pathological, normal and athletic movement.
Prereq: KIN 321
Course Descriptions 16:87 Kinesiology
