This course covers evidence-based practice and quantitative modeling skills for prescribing effective exercise programs to any individual who has a specific health, rehabilitation or performance goal. Programming considerations for various special populations (e.g., those with chronic disease, elite athletes) will be emphasized through laboratory-based case studies representing diverse professional settings such as active rehabilitation, strength & conditioning and clinical exercise physiology. Prerequisite: BPK 304W, 310 and 343 (one of which may be taken as a corequisite). Students with credit for BPK 344 or BPK 423-Advanced Exercise Prescription may not take this course for further credit.
