This course focuses on the issues in exercise and fitness that each major age group encounters in society today.

Motivational strategies, techniques and plans for designing age-appropriate exercise and fitness programs will be discussed and practiced and current research in models of exercise and fitness programs in community and corporate-based settings will be studied and evaluated for effectiveness. This course will provide an anatomical foundation for the understanding and analysis of human movement.
