Internship: Pre-School Motor Group

I wanted to let you know about an opportunity for students for the fall semester.  I typically run a 10 week motor group at a Columbus preschool – which sadly was on hold last school year – for typically developing students and children being identified.  The group will meet on Wednesday mornings this school year, 8:50-11:30 am, from Oct 6 thru Dec 15 (with the Wednesday before Thanksgiving usually off), and I can accommodate 4-5 students. The internship will be close to 40 hours in total (or possibly more!). I would need a commitment for the entire 3 months, plus an orientation session prior to the start date.  Students interested in pediatric OT or PT are welcome to apply!

NEW course: Theory of Strength and Conditioning

KNHES 3416 “Theory of Strength and Conditioning” being offered by the Department of Human Sciences is the first undergraduate course dedicated to providing the underlying background needed for the design of successful strength and conditioning programs required for optimal health and fitness for individuals across the life span to elite athletes attempting optimizing performance.  Owing to the scientific nature of modern-day strength and conditioning programming, they must be supported by understanding core physiological and biomechanical principles for evidence-based practices. Knowledge-based practices as to how programs are individualized have become even more critical for player development in sports. Whether one’s career aspirations are exercise science, personal training, athletic training, physical therapy, sports medicine physician, or becoming a strength and conditioning professional, having a solid base in strength and conditioning program design is fundamental for career progression.  Having such a course in your background also prepares one for various certifications by national governing bodies, which all require knowledge in exercise prescription and program design.

  • Who the course is relevant for

Developing expert background for exercise science graduate training, personal training, athletic training, physical therapy, sports medicine physician, or becoming a strength and conditioning professional
