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 most classes, students measure several indexes or practice, write short reports, and submit them immediately before the end of the class.
Attendance is taken in every class.
Course schedule/Required learning

| Class 1 | Orientation | Orientation for this course |
| Class 2 | Body composition assessment | Measure student's own waist circumference and body fat percentage. |
| Class 3 | Energy balance | Assess energy intake by food intake and energy consumption by physical activity, and understand their meanings. |
| Class 4 | Setting exercise intensity using heart rate | Understand safety management in exercise by measuring heart rate and blood pressure. Practice setting exercise intensity using heart rate. |
| Class 5 | Assessment of maximal oxygen uptake | Assess student's own maximal oxygen uptake. |
