The curriculum is based on guidelines and standards developed by the ACSM. Students learn comprehensive scientific based physiology and kinesiology principles. They are also engaged in numerous practical experiences in fitness and physical activity assessment, exercise prescription and leadership, program delivery, progressive resistance training and movement analysis, nutrition concepts, and behavior change theories.
