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 | Body compositions | Learn about the components of the human body and recommended standards based on body composition results. |
| Class 3 | Energy balance for health promotion | Calculate own energy balance from energy intake from food and energy expenditure from activities. |
| Class 4 | Diet for health promotion | Learn about the dietary intake standards and calculate PFC balance. |
| Class 5 | Exercise for health promotion | Estimate maximal oxygen uptake from exercise and strength training. |
| 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. |
