KNES 19A

About this course

This course is an introduction to the discipline of Kinesiology through strength training. Topics of etiquette, safety, and techniques of strength development, alongside a brief historical examination of how strength training has changed due to the influence of individuals, and their style of lifting, will be explored. The development of skills and adaptations based on the physical ability, age, and gender of the individual student will be encouraged. Students will review and apply basic exercise physiology, nutrition, flexibility, and strength concepts to improve their physical condition.
