– Introductory Kinesiology, Grade 12, University Preparation
1 CREDIT
At the beginning of this course, you will learn all of the bones and muscles in the human body. You
will spend a lot of time talking about the skeletal system and muscular system, and then you will
complete a bell-ringer test. Then, you will study joints and sport-specific injuries. You will study some
physiology—how the athlete’s body produces and uses energy—and the cardiovascular system. In the
nutrition and training principles units, you will create a nutrition plan for a theoretical athlete client
in a particular sport and will also create a personalized training plan for a classmate with a particular
goal. All students present a seminar and a bulletin board that profile a social issue around Canadian
sport and physical activity. The work is fun to do and you will make lots of meaningful and personal
connections with the course content.
Prerequisite: Any Grade 11 University or University/College Preparation course in Science or any Grade 11 or 12 open course in Health
and Physical Education
