HKIN 357

An in-depth study of how aging influences exercise capacity, functional performance, and adaptation to training beyond adulthood. The course distinguishes intrinsic biological aging from declines attributable to physical inactivity, and examines how evidence-based exercise training can preserve function, performance, and independence with age. Learning is supported through opportunities for experiential engagement with older adults. Credit will be granted for only one of HKIN 357 or HKIN 398 (2017-2018).
