Earning Criteria

• Earners completed a structured educational experience focused on core exercise science concepts and their application in physical activity and performance contexts. Learning emphasized human physiology, movement principles, and training fundamentals to support safe, effective exercise programming across diverse populations using evidence-informed practices.
• Earners demonstrated competency through applied assessments requiring the interpretation and application of exercise science principles. Assessment activities evaluated learners’ ability to apply physiological and movement concepts to exercise selection, basic program design, and injury prevention considerations using evidence-informed reasoning in practical scenarios.
• Earners completed a K-State kinesiology course paired with subject matter expert instruction addressing core exercise science concepts. The course experience emphasized engagement with structured content and applied learning activities that support the practical application of exercise science principles in performance and wellness contexts.
