exercise program design

What you will gain
“My group presentation was on Parkinson’s Disease. I learned a great deal about the disease itself, and how exercise can alleviate detrimental conditions associated with Parkinson’s. I found this topic particularly relevant to me as my grandfather has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s. I now know why he has hunched posture, tremors in his hands and a shuffled gait.”
Knowledge
Communication Skills
“Since many Revved Up participants have difficulties with communication, including understanding direction and speaking, I have fostered skills to both understand what my participant is asking for, and communicate direction to them in a clear, simple way.”
What you will gain
“Throughout my time in KNPE 336 and 436, I have learned a plethora of transferable skills, such as patience, time management and leadership, both when working in the gym and through the coursework.”
Leadership Skills
Transferable Skills
“Building on my knowledge from the 336 online modules, and the 436 tutorials and readings, I learned how to assess exercise intensity and volume, and make appropriate adjustments to a program. While in 336 this knowledge was novel, my supervisory role in 436 allowed me to expand upon this knowledge with greater autonomy, which advanced my decision-‐making and critical thinking skills. Given my personal interest in fitness, this will be advantageous to my daily life and future professional endeavors.”

“I am very thankful for my involvement in the Revved Up program, and feel that it made a significant contribution to my success in pursuing Physical Therapy. … I am very thankful for the friendships I have made and the skills I have gained from the Revved Up program.”
“I want to thank you for setting myself and other KNPE 336 and 436 students up so well through the Revved Up program. Three months into my program, not only has the knowledge I acquired in the program proven to be useful, but the skills I developed as well. In particular, my ability to communicate effectively and provide compassionate care to individuals with various disabilities have proven to be valuable assets. I am thankful that I had the opportunity to begin to develop these skills in the Revved Up program.”
