In this course the student will study how the internal and external forces acting on the human body influence the outcome of performance of motor skills or in human motion. It will cover such basic concepts as forms of motion, linear and angular kinematics, linear and angular kinetics.
The course will involve meaning of organisational climate and its effect on Motivation and performance and how climate is developed. Organisational behaviour systems and models will be discussed. Management functions and the interplay between organisation and management will receive attention. Management styles used in organising physical education and sports programmes in schools will also be looked at.
This course takes a look at the historical background of testing and measuring evaluation as a part of teaching, statistical techniques, construction and use of motor and knowledge tests, criteria for test selection, administering a test programme, interpretation and use of test results and supported by adequate practical work.
The course is designed to prepare students to be leaders of, and advocates for quality physical education and sport programmes. The course emphasizes academic excellence, the pursuit of knowledge, the development of critical and analytical abilities, and the application of theory into practice so students will assume positions of leadership within the physical education and sports settings.

The course involves a practical component that interfaces students with extensive use of computer data analysis tools, such as SPSS. In EPH 802, most illustrations are selected from Health, Physical Education and Recreation.
This is basically a computer literacy course. It aims at equipping students with various intermediate techniques of analysing and reporting data. The course involves a practical component that interfaces students with extensive use of computer data analysis tools, such as SPSS. It also involves word processing, spreadsheet, CD-ROM, the use of internet tools for research and information (such as supercourse, listservs, and database search), and e-mail. The main emphasis of the course is to explore how teaching and learning can be done effectively with available computer services.
This course is an examination of both quantitative and qualitative approaches to scholarly enquiry. It looks at fundamental designs under each approach and the methodological issues involved. The course is designed to assist students to design, implement and report their research projects. In EPH 801, most illustrations are selected from Health, Physical Education and Recreation.
Thesis Report Seminars
Two seminars are required in Year 3. In the first seminar, the student is given the opportunity to present the analysis of data, preliminary results and reflections from the field.
The second seminar is an oral defence (viva voce).
