EXS 117 Active Lifestyle, Fitness and Health 3-3-0
The Active Lifestyle, Fitness and Health course is designed to explore, through a series of lectures and workshops, the scientific principles relating to physical activity, exercise, fitness and health in asymptomatic populations from different age groups. At the end of the course, students are expected to understand the dose-response relationship between a variety of physical activities (e.g. Aerobic and resistance training, leisure activities, etc.) and different fitness outcomes (e.g. Body composition, muscle strength, cardiorespiratory fitness, etc.). Moreover, students will be exposed to a mechanistic approach to understand how fitness is associated with long-term health and longevity. Liberal Education Competencies: Quantitative Reasoning (Introductory), Critical Thinking (Introductory), Information Literacy (Introductory). Note: EXS courses do not fulfill the “Arts and Science” requirement for students in the Divisions of Social Sciences or Humanities
