COURSE CONTENT

Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

The students will:

       1.      Define aerobic exercise

       2.      Calculate and monitor their exercise heart rate

       3.      Perform safe and effective intermediate and advance level

               step combinations for 20-45 minutes

       4.      Identify working muscles by name

       5.      Exhibit knowledge about anatomical and physiological

               concepts as they pertain to aerobic training, muscular

               strength, and flexibility

           a.  bands, exercise tubes

   E.  Body awareness and stretching exercises

       1.  3-15 minutes

II. Present principles of cardiovascular/respiratory fitness

   A.  Time, duration, mode

   B.  Calculate exercise heart rate

III. Present biomechanical principles of safe exercise as they pertain to

   intermediate level bench stepping
