This unit examines human movement through practical motion analysis and situates physical activity within a bio-psycho-social framework. Students explore motivation and adherence strategies and the psychological effects of exercise to design person-centered activity plans that support long-term health and prepare them for applied clinical or coaching contexts.
Learning Objectives
- Analyze video- and sensor-based motion data to identify common movement faults and relate those faults to musculoskeletal anatomy and functional limitations
- Apply the bio-psycho-social model to assess a client case study and formulate an integrated plan that addresses biological, psychological, and social factors influencing activity
- Evaluate evidence-based motivation and adherence strategies and construct a measurable short-term behavior-change plan tailored to a hypothetical client
- Demonstrate the relationship between acute and chronic exercise and mood by summarizing research findings and recommending exercise prescriptions that target mental-health outcomes
