MOST 206 - Physics for Movement Science Laboratory


This course is designed to introduce Physical Education Major students to general 
principles of physics involved in movement and gross motor skills.  Students will study 
how fundamental gross motor skills are extensions of the principles of physics and  
how this can enable students to recognize, teach and apply techniques which are common to sport and movement activities.  Students will relate and apply the concepts of physics to teaching K-12 physical education and coaching various sports.  This course will serve as the Lab experience for Physics 205 and will be taught by faculty from the Physics Department and the Physical Education department.  The settings will include the Physics lab and sport facilities.
