Course description and aims

This course focuses on measurements of health-related indexes by students themselves, and covers the fundamentals of health sciences.
Students will measure and observe physiological and psychological responses to physical exercise.
The approaches/methods are not only useful for health sciences, but applicable to study disciplines dealing with humans (e.g., mechanical engineering, life science) .

Student learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) acquire the ability to assess health-related indexes in humans, by using physiology, biomechanics and psychology.
2) have an understanding of background mechanisms of health.

Keywords

physiology, biomechanics, psychology

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills ✔ Communication skills ✔ Critical thinking skills ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

In each class, students measure several indexes or practice, write a short essay, and submit it before the end of each class.
Attendance is taken in every class. If you are late, you will not be able to keep up with the practice, so if you are more than 15 minutes late, you will not be allowed to enter the room.

Course schedule/Required learning

  Course schedule Required learning
Class 1 Orientation Orientation for this class. Learn the measurement method of body composition.
Class 2 First aid and heart rate measurements Understand first aid procedures. Measure heart rate during physical activity.
Class 3 Energy balance for health promotion Calculate own energy balance from energy intake from food and energy expenditure from activities.
Class 4 Exercise for health promotion (measurement of maximal oxygen uptake) Estimate the maximum oxygen uptake from exercise and consider your own exercise menu based on the amount of activity in your daily life.
Class 5 Strength training practices and menu planning Strength training and planning of training menus.
Class 6 Rest for Health Promotion Understand the mechanism of stress and sleep cycle, and the proper way to rest.
Class 7 Summary and discussion Based on the content of the previous exercises, think about ways to improve health and make a presentation.
