This new course is introduced as described in FAS UCC Paper 2003-17.
Rationale: Tom Richardson who originally designed and taught this specialty course passed away in March 1997. The course has been taught two other times by Charles Krieger who was hired to replace Dr. Richardson. Ten students were enrolled in the course in 2000-1 and 6 students in 2001-1. The course hasn’t been offered since the 2001-1 semester. Charles Krieger now has his own specialty course - KIN 446.

This course will provide students with basic physiology of the nervous system, and muscle, endocrine system, cardiorespiratory system, kidney and gastrointestinal system. (distance education) Kinesiology majors and honors students may not receive credit for KIN 105. Recommended: grade 11 biology, chemistry and physics. |
Basic anatomy and physiology of the skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardio-respiratory, urinary, digestive, immune, and reproductive systems. (distance education) Kinesiology majors and honors students may not receive credit for KIN 105. Recommended: grade 11 biology, chemistry and physics. |
| KIN 301 |
This laboratory course covers the quantitative biomechanical evaluation of human movement. Analysis techniques for quantifying motion of body segments in athletes, normal populations and special populations will be included. Experiments will measure force production in whole body activities such as walking and jumping. Experiments will also look at the nature of muscular force generation and the mechanical properties of the musculoskeletal system. Prerequisite: PHYS 130 or 131, KIN 201. |
A laboratory course on the quantitative biomechanical evaluation of human movement. Students will learn analysis techniques for quantifying kinematics and kinetics of body segments in athletes, normal populations, and special populations during activities such as walking and jumping. Experiments will look at the nature of muscular force generation, and the mechanical impedance properties of the musculoskeletal system, as well as patterns of muscle activation, using surface EMG. Prerequisite: PHYS 130 or 131, KIN 201. |
| KIN 444 |
The goal of this course is to provide the student with both basic and practical knowledge of cardiac rehabilitation. Through this course, the student will be better prepared to participate in community or hospital based cardiac rehabilitation programs. This knowledge base in conjunction with KIN 445 is intended to adequately prepare the student to successfully complete the requirements for the certification through the American College of Sports Medicine as an exercise specialist. |
Examines the etiology, prevention, and rehabilitation of cardiovascular disease. Students will learn to assess patient risk factors, interpret ECG recordings, and prescribe exercise to cardiac patients. This will provide the foundation for students to participate in community or hospital-based cardiac rehabilitation programs |
| KIN 445 |
This course will provide students with experience in practical aspects of assessing cardiac performance and techniques of cardiac rehabilitation. It will also introduce students to relevant research questions in cardiac rehabilitation and provide a basis for understanding how this filed will expand and evolve. Along with KIN 444 and time spent working in a cardiac rehabilitation program, this course will help prepare students for certification through the ACSM as an exercise specialist. |
Builds upon the knowledge and skills learned in KIN 444 through advanced ECG interpretation, exercise stress testing, and patient counseling. Students will be required to complete a 30 hour practicum within a community or hospital-based cardiac rehabilitation program. In addition, this course will introduce students to relevant research questions in cardiac rehabilitation and how this field is expanding and evolving. |
| KIN 496 |
Directed reading and literature research on topics selected in consultation with the supervising instructor. This course may not be repeated for additional credit. A student who has completed KIN 499 may not receive credit for KIN 496. A short proposal of the project, approved by the course supervisor, must be submitted for approval to the chair of the undergraduate program committee by the end of the first week of classes of the semester. Prerequisite: permission from the chair of the undergraduate program committee. Usually, upper level standing with at least 75 semester hours in the kinesiology program will be required. |

KIN 105: The addition of the words anatomy and physiology better reflects the course title. The remainder of the first sentence has also been rewritten to more accurately describe the current course content. The study guide for the course is going to be re-written and a new textbook is going to be chosen. The current textbook is outdated and contains a number of errors. There is a much broader selection of introductory anatomy/physiology textbooks as compared to introductory physiology textbooks.
KIN 301: The proposed new Calendar description more accurately reflects what is currently being covered in KIN 301.
KIN 445 and 445: The new proposed Calendar description more accurately describes the current course content.
The ACSM requires that candidates for the Exercise Specialist certification have an undergraduate degree in an allied health field, 600 hours of practical experience in cardiac rehabilitation and a valid CPR certificate prior to writing the exam. The reference to the ASCM Exercise Specialist certification has been deleted so that students are not under the impression that completion of these courses is all that is required prior to writing the ACSM exam. The course instructor's (Dr. Scott Lear) experience over the past two years has been that the majority of students are not adequately prepared to write and pass the ACSM exam after taking these two courses.
KIN 496 and 498:Currently Kinesiology honors students aren't allowed to take KIN 498 for credit, and they aren't allowed to take KIN 496 for credit if they have already received credit for KIN 499. They can count only three credits of directed studies courses in their 27 upper division Kinesiology elective credits. KinesiologyMajors can count 6 credits of directed studies courses in their 27 upper division Kinesiology elective credits out of the total of 120 credits required for their BSc degrees. Thus, honors students should be also able to count 6 credits of directed studies courses in their 27 upper division Kinesiology elective credits --- KIN 497 plus either 496 or 498: 114 credits plus 6 credits = 120 credits, plus 12 credits for KIN499 = 132 credits. If an honors student wanted to take both Kin 496 and 498, then 3 of those credits couldn't count towards the 27 upper division Kinesiology elective credits, but could count towards the 132 credits required for their honors degree.
The Honors program as described on page 137 in the 2003/2004 Calendar is proposed to be revised as follows..
| Current | Proposed |
|---|---|

The addition of this sentence is necessary given the course description changes for KIN 496 and 498 shown in #4 above. The statement on graduating GPA requirements is updated in accord with SFU requirements.
| Course | Current | Proposed |
|---|---|---|
| KIN 303 |
KIN 142 and STAT 201 |
KIN 105 or 142, and STAT 201 or an equivalent statistics course |
| KIN 336 |

KIN 303: This change will make KIN 303 more accessible to Nutrition Certificate students.
KIN 336: Adding BISC 316 as a prerequisite will make this course accessible to Biological Sciences students.
KIN 426: The purpose of this pre-requisite change is to make the course more appealing to a broader range of students and thus to increase the enrolment.
| Course | Current | Proposed |

Rationale: The intent is to communicate to prospective enrolees that KIN 336 has changed and that the volume of material in the revised course is less than the current KIN 336. The purpose of this Calendar change and the pre-requisite change shown above is to make the course more appealing to a broader range of students and thus to increase the enrolment.
The following changes systematically update the the Kinesiology Co-op courses (351, 352, 451, 452, 453).
| Current | Proposed | |
|---|---|---|
| KIN 351 |
The first semester of work experience. It is available only to kinesiology co-operative education students. Prerequisite: students must apply to the kinesiology co-op co-ordinator at least one semester in advance. |
This is the first semester of work experience in the Kinesiology Co-operative Education Program. Students must complete Bridging Online (visit www.sfu.ca/coop/bol for further details) at least two semesters before their anticipated co-op placement. Students must then apply to the Kinesiology Co-op Program by the first week of the semester preceding the work semester. Normally, students will have completed a minimum of 45 credit hours by the end of the semester of application, KIN 142, KIN 143 plus at least one other kinesiology course and have a minimum GPA of 2.50. Work terms are graded as Pass/Fail (P/F). |
| KIN 352 |
The second semester of work experience. It is available only to kinesiology co-operative education students. Prerequisite: students must apply to the kinesiology co-op co-ordinator at least one semester in advance. They will normally be required to have completed KIN 351. |
The second semester of work experience in the Kinesioloy Co-operative Education Program. Prerequisite: KIN 351. Work terms are graded as Pass/Fail (P/F). |
| KIN 451 |
The third semester of work experience. It is available only to kinesiology co-operative education students. Prerequisite: students must apply to the kinesiology co-op co-ordinator at least one semester in advance. They will normally be required to have completed KIN 352. |
The third semester of work experience for students in the Kinesiology Co-operative Education Program. Prerequisite: KIN 352. Work terms are graded as Pass/Fail (P/F). |
| KIN 452 |
The fourth semester of work experience. It is available only to kinesiology co-operative education students. Prerequisite: students must apply to the kinesiology co-op co-ordinator at least one semester in advance. They will normally be required to have completed KIN 451. |
The fourth semester of work experience for students in the Kinesiology Co-operative Education Program. Prerequisite: KIN 451. Work terms are graded as Pass/Fail (P/F). |
| KIN 453 |
The fifth semester of work experience. It is available only to kinesiology co-operative education students. Prerequisite: students must apply to the kinesiology co-op co-ordinator at least one semester in advance, and normally must have completed KIN 452. |
Optional semester of work experience for students in the Kinesiology Co-operative Education Program. Prerequisite: KIN 452. Work terms are graded as Pass/Fail (P/F). |
Rationale:
The descriptions have changed by removing the phrase: "It is available only to Kinesiology co-operative education students." This allows other non-Kinesiology students to participate (e.g. Gerontology).
The prerequisite changes will bring us in line with the other co-op practicum course changes currently being done. The biggest change is requiring the new co-op prerequisite of BOL. We have moved from one semester of preparatory work to two semesters, thereby requiring the students to do the BOL prerequisite work two semesters before they want to work and applying to their "home" program (e.g. Kinesiology) one semester before. This will then give them enough time to get all of the prerequisite work completed prior to commencing their first work term.
In the past the specific prerequisites for KIN 351 haven't been published in the Calendar. Students obtained this information when they contacted the Kinesiology Co-operative Education Office. Describing these prerequisites in the Calendar will make it easier for students to get this information, and hopefully enable them to start thinking about the co-op program at an earlier stage in their university studies.
The notation about academic grading has been added as a point of clarification. Grading of co-op courses has been done on a Pass/Fail basis for many years.
The following revisions are proposed to add KIN 143 to the list of elective courses for the certificate and to correct an error in citing the course title for KIN 340.

Students must also complete nine credit hours (three courses) of electives chosen from the following. GERO 302-3 Health Promotion and Aging GERO 407-3 Nutrition and Aging KIN 303-3 Kinanthropometry KIN 312-3 Nutrition in Fitness and Sport* KIN 340-3 Human Energy Metabolism KIN 375-3 Human Growth and Development* KIN 430-3 Human Energy Metabolism KIN 431-3 Environmental Carcinogenesis *courses available by distance education courses which have additional prerequisites Students must have a minimum 2.00 GPA calculated on all required courses. The certificate is normally completed within five years of admission to the certificate program. Credits applied to one certificate may not be applied to another certificate or diploma. |

Rationale: the addition of KIN 143 will allow the requirements for the Certificate to be completed in eight courses, without hidden prerequisites. The course title for KIN 340 is incorrect in the 2003/2004 Calendar. It was mistakenly given the same course title as KIN 430.

As this change benefits some applicants without detracting from the admissibility of any applicant, it should become effective immediately (i.e., for 2004-3 applicants). No phase-in provision is required.
