Kinesiology & Nutrition IV: Advanced Health Challenges

One-semester course. High school students are busy. They barely have time for their classwork, let alone the time to take care of themselves. Nutrition and fitness are often the first thing overlooked by stressed-out students–but the long-term effects of poor eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle can lead to cardio-vascular disease, obesity, diabetes, and mental health struggles. 

In this course students will look hard at the health choices they make daily. Practical focus will be placed on the formation of healthy eating, physical fitness, and personal habit–despite the forces working against good decisions in everyday life. At the end of this course, students will be able to make informed decisions about their personal wellness, and will be equipped to make choices that will promote a lifetime of good health.

Please note: Courses in the Kinesiology & Nutrition series do not need to be taken sequentially.
