KINES 6 introduces students to the performance of cycling as a lifelong activity that helps maintain and enhance physical fitness and overall wellness. This course provides the information that the student needs to understand, organize, plan and implement a physical fitness program that features cycling as a primary activity. The centerpiece of this course is a progression of individually-paced rides of varying lengths that are conducted over various terrains and potentially utilizing both indoor and outdoor training. Cycle conditioning typically includes a longer group trail ride utilizing designated cycling trails such as the Rails to Trails system. Students may experience opportunities to attempt individual time trial, interval training, and indoor, road or trail riding depending on the offering. Additionally, students are exposed to such topics as the physiology of exercise, cycling safety, goal-setting for personal health, principles and concepts of physical fitness, training methods to address different cycling goals, and nutrition and weight control. Students also have the opportunity to monitor their performance throughout the course using a variety of personal assessment inventories and instruments and are encouraged to utilize current technologies such as heart rate monitors and fitness apps. A student who completes KINES 6 will be able to identify the components of an effective physical fitness program and explain how cycling contributes to the success of this program, develop realistic fitness goals and design a cycling program to meet these goals, perform a variety of fitness cycling techniques, and understand how cycling promotes psychological well-being.
Kinesiology 058 will help students develop stamina, confidence and discipline, and promote general fitness through the introduction to basic Judo. KINES 058 Judo I (1.5) (GHA) Kinesiology 058 will help students develop stamina, confidence and discipline, teach self-defense, and promote general fitness through the introduction of basic Judo. Developed in Japan in 1882, Judo has quickly spread across the globe and won approval as a modern sport. Judo became the first activity of Asian origin to be accepted as an Olympic event in 1964. Women's Judo was admitted to the Games as a full medal event in 1992. Judo, 'the gentle way,' is the modern day form of the ancient Japanese Jujitsu. The art is based on the principle of using the opponent's own strength to put him or her off balance, using minimum effort for maximum efficiency. Judo was initially developed by Professor Jigoro Kano, whose techniques were refined to form a combative system that demonstrates the superiority of techniques over mere strength. Although Judo is a martial art, students need not fear physical injury due to enrollment at Kinesiology 058. Judo I covers fundamental falling, throwing and grappling techniques. More dangerous techniques, such as choking and arm locks, are reserved until students have demonstrated satisfactory command of more basic skills. Kinesiology 058 is not simply aimed at introducing students to basic Judo. Judo instruction at Penn State encourages fitness by incorporating a brief session of physical conditioning into each class in an effort to augment the aerobic workout and prevent injuries. Each student is also asked to learn basic terms and some general history of the sport of Judo. Facilities/Class periods - held in the IM Building Combat Room - begin with stretching and generally continue with a series of technique demonstrations, form practices and free workout. Class concludes with conditioning and cool-down exercises. Frequency of enrollment: Two sections every fall and spring semesters with a maximum of 30 students per section.
A course designed to give students an understanding of and a proficiency in Karate. KINES 059 Introduction to Karate (1.5) (GHA) KINES 059 will involve the training in the philosophy, principles and techniques of Karate for self-defense, improvement of overall fitness and to give a greater understanding of the art and themselves. This course will involve physical aspects of Karate including blocking, punching, striking, kicking and body shifting techniques in correct stance and the application of these techniques against an opponent. The course will also introduce the mental aspects of Karate illustrating the ideals of 'the way' (including principles such as character, concentration, self control, manners and self discipline) and how they can be applied in everyday life to benefit themselves and society, this will be achieved through meditation and training. There are three primary components of Karate training; fundamentals (basics), sparring and Kata or forms. The basic techniques consist of blocks, punches, strikes, kicks and combinations of these techniques in correct stance or body position. Sparring can take one of three forms; single step, controlled multi-step sparring and free sparing. Only the second form (both controlled and non-contact) is taught in this introductory class. The third component, kata, consists of a series of predefined blocking, striking and kicking techniques performed by an individual and used to simulate defense against multiple opponents. The forms are used to perfect the fundamental techniques to teach balance and timing of techniques so that they then may be applied to sparring. Throughout the semester students will improve in physical fitness and learn how Karate contributes to improved fitness and overall wellness. The basic principles of organizing, planning and implementing a physical fitness program will be taught using martial arts training as a method of exercise. The fitness principles learned in class can be applied to any form of activity the student chooses. At the end of the course the student will be invited to explore, through a term paper, their personal health and fitness goals and how karate training may be incorporated into their lifelong fitness plan. Although some concepts of 'self-defense' are discussed in this class it is not given a priority. However, it is likely that by the end of the course students will feel more physically confident in their ability to avoid and deal with conflict situations. Since Karate is one of the most widely practiced martial arts in the world, the students will also be able to continue their training in Shotokan though either the Penn State Club or at any other club around the world. They will also be given the opportunity to sit a formal grading examination (through a world class examiner), which will hold rank within Karate anywhere in the world, thus acknowledging their abilities gained in this course. This formal ranking is completely at the student's discretion and will not be required for credit toward Kinesiology 059. Frequency of enrollment: One to three sections every fall and spring semesters with a maximum of 30 students per section.
