Introduction
This course focuses on the study of human movement and of systems, factors, and principles
involved in human movement. Students will learn about the effects of physical activity on health
and performance, the evolution of physical activity and sports, and the factors that influence an
individual's participation in physical activity.
The Exercise Science course is designed to pique intellectual curiosity and to apply analytical and
critical thought to concepts related to human movement and well-being. In addition, this course
aims to foster enthusiasm for an active and healthy lifestyle and to emphasize the importance of effective lifestyle practices.
The PSE4U course is divided into five major Units, as follows:
Unit One: Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology
Unit Two: Human Performance and Biomechanics
Unit Three: Motor Learning and Skills Development
Unit Four: The Evolution of Physical Activity and Sport
Unit Five: Social Issues in Physical Activity and Sport
The sections of the textbook and workbook correspond with the curriculum for this course. Each
Unit of the text is divided into sections, each of which looks at a key field within the larger Unit.
At the beginning of each section of the textbook is a list of key terms you will encounter in the
section. A comprehensive glossary is provided at the back of the text.
Numerous interest boxes and photographs throughout emphasize and elaborate on aspects in
the main text. At the end of each Unit, there is a special section on Careers and Websites that
provides information on possible occupational choices that can arise from further study, and
online resources that are available for those seeking more information.
Learning will be facilitated through the application of the theory through activities such as labs,
field trips, and portfolio assignments. To this end, the Student Workbook/Lab Manual contains
extensive quizzes and exercise material that corresponds to each section of the text.
