This course is required for the EXS Personal Trainer Certificate and for the EXS Degree seeking students.  We will learn how to examine human motion in physical activity and sport and the integration of anatomy and biomechanics.  We will explore the laws of physics and engineering mechanics to the study of human movement.  Topics include Kinematics, Kinetics, Planes & Axes, Mechanical and Human Lever Systems as well as Kinesiology of the body.  We will learn how to evaluate movement visually using a variety of motor and balance tasks and postural stability exercises, while providing feedback using descriptive coaching terms.
