Class information: June 21st– July 29th, 2010 (Monday thru Thursday 6:00-8:15 pm)
SFCC building 7, classroom 121
Prerequisite Course(s):
Biol 315 Human Anatomy, Biol 251 Human Physiology
Required Text:
Baechle, T.R., Earle, R.W.: Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning (3rd Ed.)Illinois: Human Kinetics.
Purpose:
The purpose of this course is to provide students with the scientific knowledge and ability to develop safe and effective comprehensive training programs for a variety of different populations and to understand muscle group engagement during basic resistance exercises.
Course Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to;
1. Present scientific principles that describe the muscular and neurological responses to resistance training.
2. Apply the use of periodization models for the design of safe and effective resistance training programs.
3. Demonstrate the proper techniques for a variety of free weight and machine exercises and the muscle groups that each exercise targets.
4. Demonstrate the proper techniques and teaching progressions for the Olympic lifts.
5. Incorporate the use of “functional” training principles into traditional strength programs.
ClassSchedule
This is the proposed schedule; students will be notified if changes are made to this schedule. All readings are required to be completed prior to class for the date listed. Additionally, students are responsible for all material in readings, regardless, if covered in lecture/lab. All students are responsible for their own work; academic dishonesty will result in immediate failure of the course.

Students with Disabilities:
Reasonable accommodations are available for students with a documented disability.Students seeking accommodation for disabilities should contact Joan Menzies, Director of Student Affairs prior to the beginning of the semester. Documentation of a disability is required. Joan Menzies may be reached at AcademicCenterBuilding, Suite 130, 358-7526, . Students with an approved accommodation form should present this form of accommodations needed for the course to instructors during the first week of class. Late notification may cause the requested accommodations to be delayed or unavailable.
Academic Dishonesty:
Cheating on exams or plagiarism of any assigned coursework will result in an automatic F for the course! The Office of Student Affairs has posted the Standards of Conduct for Students, which is listed on the online handbook at the following site:
The penalty for academic dishonesty is posted in the WSU catalog rules and regulations as follows: "PENALTY FOR ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: Cases of academic dishonesty shall be processed in accordance with the Academic Integrity Policy, as printed in the Student Handbook and the Faculty Manual and as available from the Office of Student Affairs. Whenever plagiarism, or any other kind of cheating, is identified, instructors follow through by reporting the offense to the department chair and to the Student Advising and Learning Center (SALC). A committee at SALC will review the offense and take appropriate action. A student's reputation, academic career, and future career possibilities will be at risk."
Risks and Safety Procedures:
Participation in laboratories is required in this course; however, you should not participate in any lab, which might put you at risk if you have any medical/health condition that prohibits your participation. You are required to fill out a health history questionnaire and physical activity readiness questionnaire (PAR-Q) prior to participating in laboratory that consists of physical activity.
In conjunction, proper safety procedures are taught in class and adherence to these procedures will be emphasized and required for all participants in this class.
