Presentation Title:
Science-based Exercise Tutorial Video Assessment for hands-on practice in Exercise Science and Kinesiology majors.
Abstract:
Exercise science and kinesiology students aim to become physical therapists, occupational therapists, and health care/sports professionals. It has been identified that one of the student learning objectives in this degree is for students to implement assessments to identify biomechanical errors in exercises and daily tasks. By implementing a science-based exercise tutorial assessment, students can identify and evaluate reliable sources of information and use interpersonal skills to present their findings in a succinate manner.
As part of the assignment, students select an Olympic Lift (Snatch or clean and jerk), break it down into phases, explain the primary muscles and joints involved, common mistakes seen, how to fix them, and modifications for teaching the technique. Then, each student either demonstrated the exercise or had someone perform the movement while they explained. This teaching method allows the student to transfer these skills into their future health care profession. In addition, it can assist them in acquiring reliable information when creating exercise programs for patients and clients and provide them with the skills to develop visual demonstrations using technology.
