including outdoor games, tours of sport training centers, sport facilities and research labs are designed to facilitate interactive learning. Kinesiology Package C - Clinical Kinesiology Exercise is now recognized as a fundamental lifestyle component of health promotion and is now an integral part of prescriptive approaches to the treatment of ~26 chronic diseases or conditions such as heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, cancer, dementia, and other degenerative diseases. Students enrolled in this package will be exposed to the theoretical basis for the mechanisms for exercise as a therapeutic approach to health promotion. Concepts learned in class will be supported by lab-based sessions covering testing and monitoring of exercise training programs. Participants will have the opportunity to visit the Physical Activity Research Centre (PARC), an 11,000-square-metre, research facility that brings together one of the most interdisciplinary Spinal Cord Injury research programs in the world and the UBC Allan McGavin Sports Medicine Centre, one of only two FIFA Medical Centres of Excellence in Canada. Clinical Exercise Physiology This theoretical and lab-based course will provide an overview of clinical exercise physiology. Diverse class activities including problem-based case studies, group projects, hands-on labs examine cardio respiratory function, muscle function, and metabolism. The course will include visits to labs such as the world-renowned research centre for rehabilitation (PARC) will facilitate an active learning environment. Upon completion of this course, students will develop an understanding of fundamental approaches to the assessment of physiological responses to exercise; altered responses in various clinical syndromes; and how exercise prescription and exercise monitoring is applied in the clinical settings for health promotion. Students will also gain an appreciation of the influence of exercise and lifestyle on the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases. Health and Physical Activity Behaviour This psychology-based course examines how engagement in health and physical activity behaviours affect health outcomes across the lifespan, and how individual engagement can be changed by intervention and health promotion strategies. Upon completion of the course, students will gain an understanding of models of behavioural change that promote health and physical activity behaviours, along with their application towards intervention design, development, and evaluation to encourage adoption and maintenance of physical activity amongst special populations. Land and Food Systems LFS Package A - Food Science and Sensory Evaluation Introduction to Food Science An introduction to key concepts related to the science of food: the Canadian food system, chemical and physical properties of foods, government regulations, food additives, food preservation techniques, food safety, and trends in foods for nutrition and health. Students will learn to arrive at an informed position
