ES 445 - Assessment and Prescription

Assessment and Prescription is designed to prepare exercise science students to take the American College of Sports Medicine Certified Exercise Physiologist examination by applying previous knowledge of exercise physiology towards properly screening potential clients and patients for health risks prior to exercise testing, conducting professional exercise test assessments, and using the data from these assessments to design exercise and lifestyle interventions to meet the client/patient’s health and/or athletic performance goals. The lecture is complemented by a required hands-on lab that must be taken concurrently.
