Module Title: Conditioning Exercises

Course Title: PATHFit I – Movement Competency Training

Course Number: PE 109
Course Description: This course reintroduces the fundamental movement patterns that consist of
non-locomotor and locomotor skills, which are integrated with core training to meet the demands
of functional fitness and physical activity performance. Emphasis will be on exercise regression
and progression for the enhancement of fitness and the adaptation of movement competencies to
independent physical activity pursuits. In conjunction with fitness and wellness concepts, exercise
and healthy eating principles, periodic evaluation will be conducted of one’s level of fitness and
physical activity, as well as eating patterns to monitor one’s progress and achievement of personal
fitness and dietary goals.
