    Description
    Students will be given guidelines for the design of individual exercise programs of aerobic fitness, weight loss and development of muscle mass, muscle strength, and joint flexibility. Nutritional support for optimizing these fitness objectives is integrated throughout the course. Students participate in both classroom discussions and relevant exercise training in the El Camino College Fitness Center. Measurement of aerobic fitness (VO2max), body composition by underwater weighing, and tests of muscle function will be conducted in the College's Exercise Science Laboratory to guide exercise and dietary recommendations.
