1 Linfield College DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, HUMAN PERFORMANCE AND ATHLETICS Course Syllabus Spring 2017 Course: HHPA 270 Core Concepts of Health and Human Performance Credit Hours: 4 Location: Online Time: Online Instructor: Benjamin Belletto Office: HHPA 215 Phone: bbellett@linfield.edu Office Hours: By appointment Prerequisites None Catalogue Course Description HHPA 270 An overview of the core concepts of health and human performance will be explored as they relate to a practitioner in the field of fitness, exercise, and athletics; laws and principles of human performance as they relate to movement and training of the human body; emphasis on the scientific foundations of training and conditioning for human performance and health from a practical perspective. Online course and heavily text based. Focus for non-health and human performance majors. Offered Spring and online. 4 credits. Course Objectives Upon completion of this course the student will 1. be able to describe the basic interrelationships among the principles, laws and theories which serve to enhance human movement and health from a physiological perspective. 2. be able to describe the basic interrelationships among the principles, laws and theories which serve to enhance human movement and health from a biomechanical perspective. 3. be able to describe the basic interrelationships among the principles, laws and theories which serve to enhance human movement and health from a psychological perspective. 4. be able to describe the basic interrelationships among the principles, laws and theories which serve to enhance human movement and health from a motor learning perspective. 5. be able to describe the interrelationships among the principles, laws and theories which serve to enhance human movement and health from a nutritional perspective. 6. examine responses to exercise, training and conditioning in special/all populations. 7. describe a well-balanced and scientifically-based training/conditioning program for a diverse range of individual needs. 8. be able to examine the relationship of this course to other appropriate fields and societal issues Required Textbook 1.

All students enrolled in this course are expected to follow it. The policy can be found in the Linfield College Course Catalog. Please be sure you read this policy. The policy states that academic work is evaluated on the assumption that the work presented is the student s own, unless designated otherwise. Academic Dishonesty refers to cheating, plagiarism, fabrication and facilitating academic dishonesty. I will strictly adhere to the college policy on academic dishonesty. Students that commit academic dishonesty will receive zero points for the assigned work, I will inform the Dean of Students of the violation and other sanctions may occur per college policy. If unsure whether your work reflects an appropriate level of academic honesty do not hesitate to discuss the matter with me before the work is started. PLEASE NOTE: 1. It is expected that you will actively participate in all activities (unless physically incapable due to injury or infirmity) and discussions. 2. It is expected that ALL assignments will be completed and turned in by the associated deadline or a reduction in grade will occur. It is your responsibility to pay attention to deadlines when given. 3. Please check your regularly! This is how I communicate with the class. Evaluation 1. Exams: Two midterm exams and a final exam will be given. Exams may be a combination of objective, short answer, fill-in, matching and True/False. The midterms will cover new material only

4 (they are not comprehensive) but the final exam will be comprehensive. Tentative exam dates are listed on the topical outline. The exams will be open-book. 2. Special Topics Article Reviews: You will be asked to read articles (preferably research) on a topic related to health and human performance as they relate to your interest area. Your critical analysis of will be posted on Blackboard. 3. Papers: Students will complete reflection papers assigned throughout the course. These papers will be written on each unit of instruction. These papers should be 1-2 pages in length using 12-point font in Times New Roman with 1-inch margins and double spaced text. While these papers will most often reflect personal opinions, they should still be fact-based, well organized and carefully written. If references to outside sources are made, proper citation (APA format) must be included. There will be multiple reactions to the assigned topics/issues therefore you will need to express your point of view and provide supporting rationale for your position. I can be used in these papers. Readings will be posted on Blackboard. 4. Journal: Instructions for the journal will be posted on Blackboard 5. Goals: Goal setting will be a component in this course. Students will be asked to set goals, both short-term and long-term health goals for the semester, and the instructor will monitor progress. Further instructions and details will be provided on Blackboard. Make-up Exams Exams can be made up only in the case of documented illness or emergency. It is your responsibility to contact me to make alternate arrangements before the exam if you have a scheduling conflict (i.e.: campus athletic team traveling or other activity). Make-up exams may be all essay. The final exam must be taken at the scheduled time.
