Dr. San Juan used to co-taught this course.

Application of the theory of measurement, evaluation, and appropriate statistical processes to kinesiology programs; practical experiences involving test selection, administration and evaluation and interpretation of results in health and fitness settings.

Prerequisites & Notes: None.

Dr. San Juan teaches this course every year during Spring quarter.

Application of basic mechanical principles to movement. Motion fundamentals, kinetics, kinematics, aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, equilibrium and external forces, rebound and spin, two-dimensional analysis, and the body as a machine; lab work is included.

Prerequisites & Notes: KIN 306 or concurrent; completion of Math GURs.

This is Dr. San Juan's primary teaching responsibility. He teaches this course every quarter and every year.

Muscles of the body that contribute to providing motion; origin, insertion, and action; principles of human movement, including the fundamental contributors to the production of muscle force and the analysis of how muscle actions contribute to achieving motion; performance analysis of basic locomotor movement, daily living activities and sports skills; lab work included.

Prerequisites & Notes: BIOL 348, junior status.

Dr. San Juan taught this course from Fall 2014 to Fall 2016.

This course will be a study of age-related physical and psychosocial changes which occur during the older adult years, their interrelationship with physical activity, with application to health promotion and disease prevention. Additionally, this course will examine the physical functional assessment methods commonly used with older adults, including those that are novel or in development. The research foundations and effectiveness of such assessments will be examined, and their appropriate utilization and interpretation will be practiced with community senior volunteers.

Prerequisites & Notes: KIN 306; or permission of instructor.

Dr. San Juan teaches this graduate course every other year in Winter quarter during odd-numbered years.

Common laboratory techniques utilized in exercise science are presented with emphasis on body composition analysis, circulo-respiratory testing, phlebotomy/blood analysis, muscular strength and endurance, computer usage, force platform analysis, electromyography and motion capture techniques.

Prerequisites & Notes: KIN 311 and KIN 413 or equivalent, or permission of instructor.
