Courses in Health and Physical Activity Skills

Enjoyment is a major reason young adults continue to be active during their college years.  Activities that require some level of proficiency are safer and more enjoyable for participants who have acquired the necessary skills.  The Health and Physical Activity Skills Program promotes participation in sport and recreation through a diverse menu of lifetime activities.  Our courses are designed to ensure that students achieve basic skills and understand the health and performance benefits of physical activity. All Health and Physical Activity Skills courses are approved as Health and Physical Activity GEs in the distributed general education portion of the CLAS General Education Program. Coursework includes readings and periodic examinations. Please consult ISIS for a complete description and schedule of our courses.
