Firefighting and Public Safety personnel are faced with many physical challenges, including the ability to endure long periods of time while exerting energy in sustaining operational duties. This class addresses the development of strength, endurance, power, and functional dynamic attributes required in these professions.
Designs to develop functional fitness required for firefighters and law enforcement personnel through a series of traditional strength and conditioning protocols as well as individual and group related task based activities. Best practices, methodology, and application of functionally specific physical requirements appropriate to careers in Firefighting, Law Enforcement and rescue services will be emphasized.
The history, social movements, physiology, psychology, and sociology of women in sports. Emphasis will be placed on exploring the changing roles in sports for women.
Learn how to perform fitness assessments--cardiovascular, muscular strength and body fat composition--and develop individualized, goal-specific exercise programs. The introduction of theory and principles of fitness training with evidence-based training protocols are used to promote optimum fitness.
An introduction to music notation and theory, including staff notation, rhythmic notation, intervals, scales, chord construction, sight reading, and ear training.
Piano studies for beginners including sight reading, elementary theory, beginning ear training, and a historical view of keyboard instruments and their music.
