Summary: Learn how to apply the science of exercise physiology to your exercise programs and to solve the problems you'll encounter every day in practice. You'll explore the principles of movement on which exercise is based, while you develop the confidence you need to create individualized exercise programs based on current lifestyles, schedules, and abilities.
