Description

The focus of this course is on special populations and their special needs for engaging in physical activity. The course will introduce students to the literature examining the effects of physical activity on health. In particular, the influence of physical activity on the health of children, women, ageing adults, pain, arthritic, and asthmatic patients will be described. This course offers a mixture of traditional and interactive/case study approaches to learning.
