EXER 2275 - Physical Activity and Sport in Society

Prerequisite: EXER 1100. This course will introduce students to physical activity and sport and the roles they play in our culture. Societies, cultures, and sciences have become increasingly aware of the great importance of physical activity and sport, not only as a part of broader culture, but also for the individual's social health and well-being. As such, we will examine how physical activity and sport play increasingly more important roles in scientific interest regarding contemporary society and how they are very important factors in the process of determining the level of a healthy and active life style, quality of life, and general health and well-being. 3 credits.
