Summary

1 / 3

Recent recorded grades — Spring 2024: 3.78 GPA, 88.9% A/AB (n=27 letter grades); Spring 2025: 3.82 GPA, 85.7% A/AB (n=14 letter grades); Spring 2026: 3.75 GPA, 88.9% A/AB (n=18 letter grades).

What you’ll be able to do

  • Identify the strengths and weaknesses of epidemiological study designs and critical issues in the analysis of physical activity-related research.

  • Compare and contrast the specific measurement tools used in physical activity surveillance and research and identify the errors associated with these tools.

  • Identify current public health recommendations for physical activity and describe how they have evolved.

  • Describe the contemporary trends in physical activity in the United States and know how they have been measured.

  • Identify the relationships between physical activity and various health conditions/diseases.

  • Review and analyze the epidemiologic evidence for a link between physical activity and a specified outcome of interest (e.g. physical activity and depression), and present a review of the evidence
