UEPC PROPOSAL FORM
C Course Objectives: This course examines the advanced methods and techniques associated with the design of strength and conditioning programs to enhance human performance in sport and fitness. Emphasis will be placed on proper form and utilization of various workout designs to complement larger training goals. Students will gain experience in the theoretical and practical aspects of designing individual and group workout sessions, periodization, and programming to enhance progression. Students will use an evidence-based approach to critically analyze current research to develop and justify conditioning programs and techniques for a broad range of sports and activities.
Many of the Health and Human Performance (HHP) majors in the Kinesiology Department pursue jobs in the health and fitness industry. Currently there is a void in the curriculum of courses that prepare students to take the certification exams necessary to work in these fields. The National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) is a well-respected and internationally recognized organization that offers two certifications: (1)Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and (2) NSCA-Certified Personal Trainer (NSCA-CPT). This course will not only prepare students to take these certification exams, but will qualify the HHP program under the NSCA guidelines as an accredited academic institution of higher education in strength and conditioning. A. Expected Learning Outcomes (Should these mirror those on the course syllabus? The syllabus lists 11 LOs, while there are 19 listed here…)
B. This evidenced-based course fits in with the college mission of searching for the most valid and current research. The goal is to discourage students to continue to follow the authoritarian or traditional approach where techniques and concepts are passed down and followed without question. The students will be analyzing and critiquing techniques and concepts currently in use and determining their validity. A student-centered approach will also be incorporated into this course making the students participants in their own learning process. Perhaps this section could be expanded upon? It seems like this course also fits with the College’s mission of valuing and understanding the whole person. c. Student evaluation: In this course students will critically analyze functional movements in their classmates and develop a comprehensive program with corrective strategies to optimize functional daily movement and athletic performance. After implementation of these corrective strategies they will analyze and critique the effectiveness of their program design. Students will search and analyze current literature on stretching and verbally defend their stance on the topic. Students will design a fitness facility and specify the clientele, equipment, building specifications, health and safety components, and liability prevention. Students will apply course concepts to design a strength-training program for a specific individual with regards to their health status, goals, and access to equipment. Students will observe and evaluate local strength and conditioning professionals and will provide a written critical analysis of their role in their respective professions. Students will review current peer-reviewed literature and provide a written analysis of the topics of their choice related to the field of strength and conditioning. Students will demonstrate and explain the proper mechanics used in performance testing and weight lifting. Pass/fail grading will not be an option in this course.
This is an upper division course to be completed during the student’s junior or senior year. This course is designed for the Health and Human Performance majors in the Kinesiology Department. A solid understanding of human structure and function are essential to the concepts of this course. Students must complete human anatomy and exercise physiology before entering this course. An idea class size would be 20 students. Is this a class that health science student may enroll in?
This uses the foundation of information students obtain in anatomy, exercise physiology, biomechanics and nutrition and allows students to apply this information in advanced concepts. Students have found this course complements Kines 119: Therapeutic Exercise and Physical Therapy Modalities providing an in depth understanding of how to apply strength and conditioning principles to individuals returning to sport or activity after an injury or surgery.
There are no additional special equipment or space needs.
Review of Library Resources New Course Proposal in Kinesiology: Advanced Strength and Conditioning For the 2013-2014 budget year, the Kinesiology materials allocation was $10,962, an increase of 42% over last year’s budget. The increase is in part due to the across the board increase to the library’s budget, but also because of the increase in Kinesiology enrollment, increase of library instructions sessions and reference service usage of students in the department, and increased circulation by Kinesiology faculty and students. This amount is used to purchase new monographs in the all of the areas of Kinesiology taught at Saint Mary’s College for the undergraduate and graduate majors, as well as students taking Kinesiology courses as electives. With the increase, the department and librarian have much more freedom to enhance areas of the collection that may be lacking and focus on new areas of study, including advanced strength and conditioning. The following is a sample of book titles selected from the current collection that are related to the stated topics of interest to the course:
Many Library of Congress Subject headings are assigned to the area of strength and condition. The following are a few represented in our catalog and the numbers of material is each:
Overall, the collection reflecting topics of strength and conditioning are adequate and timely. Though, a particular gap in our current collection is practical and clinical manuals (noticed particularly in the area of performance and therapy). While we have a sampling of these types of material, it has not been a focus in collecting and must be purchased in the future out of the allocated kinesiology budget. Many existing online periodical literature databases will provide support for this course, including Physical Education Index, an index of periodicals related to topics ranging from physical education to sports medicine, and PubMed and Nursing and Allied Health Source. In addition to these area-specific resources, students and faculty researching strength and conditioning can also benefit from our subscriptions to databases in other disciplines, such as Psychology (PsycInfo / PsycArticles), and other databases more related to scientific and medical topics (SpringerLink and Wiley Interscience, two premier science periodical literature collections). Web of Knowledge, a database incorporating Arts & Humanities, Science, and Social Sciences Citation Indexes, is also a useful, high-end resource. Should this course consist of a research assignment, the Kinesiology librarian will be available to work with the instructor and offer any need information literacy instruction, in a full guest lecture, shorter hands-on workshop, or online tutorial. Respectfully submitted, Sarah Vital Reference and Instruction Librarian October 15, 2013

Additional information regarding the services available may be found at the following address on the Saint Mary’s website: http://www.stmarys-ca.edu/academics/academic-advising-and-achievement/student-disability-services.html Academic Honor Code Saint Mary’s College expects every member of its community to promote and abide by ethical standards, both in conduct and exercise of responsibility towards other members of the community. Academic Honesty must be demonstrated at all times to maintain the integrity of scholarship and the reputation of the College. Academic dishonesty is a serious violation of College policy because, among other things, it undermines the bonds of trust and honesty between members of the community and betrays those who may eventually depend upon the College’s academic integrity and knowledge. As an expression of support for academic integrity throughout the Saint Mary’s learning community and as an administrative tool to discourage academic dishonesty, Saint Mary’s has implemented an Academic Honor Code. The Academic Honor Code has been approved by the ASSMC Student Body, the Faculty Academic Senate, the Provost and the President of Saint Mary’s College.
