In fall 2014, the Health and Human Performance Department will officially begin to offer a new Master\u2019s Degree, Physical Activity and Health.\u00a0This new degree focuses on public health and health promotion. The focus will be on promoting health within community based organizations, which might mean neighborhoods, work sites, corporations, small businesses, or school settings.<\/p>\n


\n\"arc-fitness-launch-2013-48<\/a>\u201cWhat makes this program a lot different than others is that typically programs are specific to what we would call exercise science, which is more training and fitness related, and this is more health and health promotion related. This degree is really focused on the whole person and the whole community or organization,\u201d says Dr. Gary Liguori, Department Head and Associate Professor.<\/p>\n

The focus of the Physical Activity and Health degree, explains Liguori, is not to physically train people, but to change behaviors.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing we will thread throughout is sustainable behavior change. We\u2019re looking at health from a holistic perspective,\u201d says Liguori. \u201cSo, for example, in our curriculum we will try to create the dividing line between sedentary behavior and physical activity as two different behavioral constructs. Just because you are active doesn\u2019t mean you aren\u2019t also sedentary to a large degree. So, for example, it\u2019s not uncommon for someone to exercise for thirty minutes each day but be sedentary for the rest of the day. They\u2019re two different behaviors, so we would look at how we could reduce the amount of time someone is sitting, even if they exercise each day.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Southeast, and Tennessee in particular, consistently posts some of the highest numbers for those at risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, obesity, and other related health problems, which makes it particularly important to offer a degree that trains students to help change community health behaviors.<\/p>\n

\u201cPart of the reason that the Southeast is at the bottom is that there aren\u2019t a lot of groups doing these types of things. There is certainly a need in the city, the state, and the region and we are trying to address that need,\u201d says Liguori. \u201cOne of the important aspects of the program is to highlight, for the students but also the community, that the problem exists. After increasing the awareness, we say here are some suggestions, here is what we can offer with our program coming in and partnering and being of help. The main idea is to reduce disease risk and prevent disease where we can.\u201d<\/p>\n

Real world experience will form an important part of the curriculum.\u00a0 Students will be required to complete six hours of practicum.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe expect our students, as a part of their curriculum, to go out into the community, whether it be, neighborhoods, work sites, or schools. They might do assessments, deliver interventions, or disseminate results from what they see,\u201d explains Liguori. \u201cWe\u2019re going to encourage students to complete their six hours of practicum at two different places so they can get different perspectives. Their experience will vary based on what an organization might want. They may just want observation or assessments, or they may want outcome measures, program design, program implementation. Our courses will have aspects of all of that in them so that students will be prepared for these different tasks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally, the delivery of the degree will be flexible. Evening classes and online classes will be available for students pursuing the degree.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe delivery of the degree will evolve over time to suit the needs of the students enrolling,\u201d says Liguori.<\/p>\n

The Physical Activity and Health degree is open to students of all majors.<\/p>\n

\u201cStudents\u2019 background is secondary to being a good student. Unlike some other degrees, which require that you must have this undergraduate degree or have completed these courses, we\u2019re more flexible,\u201d says Liguori. \u201cIn terms of public health in general, people come from all different backgrounds \u2013 sociology, anthropology, communications, psychology, exercise science, nursing, and so on. It\u2019s easy to see how any of those fit into public health and we don\u2019t want to restrict ourselves. What we want are people who meet the criteria to be a graduate student and who are passionate about public health, health promotion, and wellbeing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
