Course Description

Course is designed for students with physical disabilities who can benefit from individualized stretching and muscular endurance activities. Activities are conducted both from a sitting position and lying down on mats. Relaxation techniques, pressure points, passive and resistive stretching, and exercises will be demonstrated and performed. Transfer Credit: CSU; UC: Credit Limitation: Any or all of these ATHL, DANC, KIN, MARA, PE Activity courses combined: maximum credit, 4 units.

Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)

1. Execute proper whole body relaxation and exercise techniques needed for improvement in muscle flexibility, strength and stress reduction.
2. Self-assess proper body alignment, identify the cause of muscle tension and implement appropriate adjustments.

Course Objectives

• 1. Perform an individualized exercise and stretching program.
• 2. Demonstrate improved relaxation abilities by decreased pre- and post- resting heart rates.
• 3. Perform a group warm-up demonstrating learned anatomical joint movements.
• 4. Demonstrate improved flexibility in pre- and post- flexibility assessments.
• 5. Demonstrate improved muscular endurance by increased repetitions of selected exercises.
• 6. Demonstrate improved posture by positive changes in pre- and post- postural screening test.
