This page provides an overview of the courses I teach or have taught at Central Connecticut State University.
| Training for Sports Performance (EXS 275) | Physiological Aspects of the Human Performance of the Aging (EXS 215) |
| Develop knowledge and skills required to organize and instruct activities that enhance fitness and sport performance. Topics include, but are not limited to, strength, plyometric, speed, and agility training. | Stresses physiological responses of exercise and the psychological rationale for lifelong physical activities for the aged. |
| Theories of Strength & Conditioning (EXS 376) | Advanced Physiology of Sport I (EXS 592) |
| Theoretical and practical knowledge for the development of conditioning programs. Includes training variation, program design, and organization and administration of facilities. Prepares students for the NSCA CSCS certification exam. | Using exercise physiology as a basis, examination of acute and chronic adaptations of the body to high physiological demands of physical activity and sport. Topics covered include bioenergetics, physiology of the skeletal system, cardiorespiratory system, and renal system. |
| Advanced Physiology of Sport II (EXS 593) | Anatomy & Physiology in Exercise Science II (EXS 208) |
| Using exercise physiology as a basis, examination of acute and chronic adaptations of the body to high physiological demands of physical activity and sport. Topics covered include applied bioenergetics, environmental physiology, muscle physiology, and endocrine system. | Explores human structure and function of the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive, and endocrine systems related to exercise. |
| Anatomy & Physiology in Exercise Science I (EXS 207) | |
| Explores human structure and function of the musculoskeletal, integumentary, articular, nervous, and immune systems related to exercise. |
