I.

Catalog Description: Adaptive Physical Conditioning is concerned with the capacities and limitations of those with special needs, disabilities, or those who have suffered impairments.  This course emphasizes the development of cardiovascular muscular strength and endurance, flexibility and control of body fat.  Activities include use of aerobic machines, and stretching exercises.  Appropriate individualized exercise prescriptions may help students correct physical conditions that can be improved upon through regular exercise, and assist each student to achieve the highest level of fitness within his or her capabilities.  Students will learn how to develop a personal exercise program based on intensity, duration, and frequency of exercise, suited to his or her abilities and interests.

VI.

Learning Outcomes and Performances Objectives with their methods of measurements as used to determine the students’ mastery of those outcomes.

 

Learning Outcome 1: The students will learn and identify the health-related components of physical fitness and incorporate cardio-respiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility training into the Adaptive physical conditioning program, as presented in visual instructions and the Exercise Prescription.

 

Performance Objectives / Method(s) of measurement for each objective:

  1. The students will participate in physical fitness evaluations to assess fitness levels in cardio-respiratory by way of the 1 mile walk/run test, step test or other equivalent sub maximal testing methods.
  2. Students will participate in muscular strength and endurance testing by way of timed push-ups and sit-up tests, or other appropriate testing methods.
  3. Students will participate in flexibility testing by way of the sit-and-reach tests, shoulder flexion test, or other appropriate testing methods.

 

Learning Outcome 2: The students will learn and describe how much exercise is recommended for developing and maintaining health and fitness based upon the principles of frequency, duration, intensity, and mode established by the American College of Sports Medicine, Surgeon General’s Report, text, or other resources provided.

 

Performance Objectives / Method(s) of measurement for each objective:

  1. Students will participate in physical fitness tests to determine current fitness level and concluding fitness level. 
  2. Students will demonstrate proper form while executing appropriate weight training exercises. 
  3. Students will maintain exercise and cardio-respiratory log, based upon individual Exercise Prescription.

 

Learning Outcome 3: Students will learn and discuss steps that can be taken to make an exercise program safe, effective and successful.

 

Performance Objectives / Method(s) of measurement for each objective:

1.      Each student will demonstrate:

a.       Proper warm up

b.      Cardio-respiratory training

c.       Weight resistance training

d.      And cool down activities; each measured subjectively.

 

Learning Outcome 4: Students will learn the basic concepts of nutrition and will be challenged to develop a good nutritional plan that consists of a variety of foods from the revised USDA 2005 Food Guide Pyramid.

 

Performance Objectives / Method(s) of measurement for each objective:

  1. Students will evaluate body fat composition several times during the semester. 
  2. Students will participate in three-day food analysis.

 

Learning Outcome 5: The student will learn the benefits and importance of living healthy lifestyles; to assume responsibility for factors that are under our control (e.g. smoking, inactivity) to help reduce risk of chronic diseases (e.g. Diabetes Mellitus Type II) from text or other valid and reliable resources.

 

Performance Objectives / Method(s) of measurement for each objective:

1.      Students will evaluate body fat composition using various methods (e.g. Skin fold measurements, Bio-electric impedance analysis). 

2.      Students will submit written assignments.

 

VII.

Course requirements and grade computation.

 

 

A.

College Requirements:

 

A written, comprehensive final examination, not to exceed three hours in length, shall be given at the end of each semester for each course at the regular scheduled time.  Any exceptions to these requirements must be approved by the appropriate dean.  Other examinations are given at the discretion of the instructor.

 

A student who must be absent from the final examination should petition that instructor for permission to postpone the examination.  A student absent without permission from a final examination is graded “F.” Postponed examinations result in a grade of “I.” The final exam must be taken within 120 calendar days from the end of the semester or the grade automatically becomes an “F.” (San Antonio College Bulletin, Faculty Handbook – January 1995)
