Course Overview
Kin294 is a practicum course designed to give students exposure and experience with fitness assessments tailored specifically for older adults. The course has two components (A & B) and students should sign up for both since they are both required to complete the full practicum experience. Completion of the foundational training (A) is required to complete the practicum component (B). However, once a student completes B, they can enroll in subsequent semesters to serve as a peer leader, to gain additional experience and to get involved in the management of the associated Walk with Ease research projects coordinate in the lab.
