This unit synthesizes principles of safe, effective fitness with an examination of the health risks related to overuse, misuse of supplements, and physical inactivity, and introduces career pathways in kinesiology. Students will apply foundational fitness concepts to plan programming, evaluate obesity and inactivity data to propose prevention strategies, and explore professional options in the field.
