THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT ASHEVILLE FACULTY SENATE Senate Document Number 2790S  Date of Senate Approval 3/8/90  Signature of Senate Chair _______________________ Date __________ Action of Vice Chancellor: Approval _______________________ Date ______________ Denied _______________________ Date ______________ Reasons for denial and suggested modifications: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Statement of Faculty Senate Action: APC #21: Catalog Changes in Health and Fitness 1. Effective Date: Fall, 1990 2. DELETE: pg.186,187 of the 1989/90 catalog PHYSICAL EDUCATION all written content on pages 186 and 187 should be deleted pg. 139,140 of the 1989/90 HEALTH AND FITNESS all written content on pages 139 and 140 should be deleted 3. ADD: pg. xx between German and History of the 1990/91 catalog "HEALTH AND FITNESS" - see attached catalog copy 4. Environmental Impact Statement: No effect on major, minor, and University requirements 5. Rationale: a) Re-prefixing system - Because the Department of Health and Fitness now includes Health Promotion and Physical Education, a common prefix needs to be implemented to reflect the merger and to eliminate confusion. All Health Promotion courses and all Physical Education courses have been re-prefixed with the letters HF b) Re-numbering system - Ten Health and Fitness courses had to be given new numbers in order to fit into the Page 2 new HF numbering scheme. The courses are underlined on the pg 3 document entitled "HF numbering scheme". No new course number has ever been used for a different course. With the new HF numbering scheme, courses in related fields have similar numbers and no course has a prerequisite that has a higher number than itself. The following conventions define each course number: First digit - year in which student is expected to take the course Second digit - academic area or field of course 0 - Gymnastics and Indoor team sports 1 - Racket sports 2 - Physical Development (all are general education courses) 3 - Dance 4 - Skiing and Advanced Lifesaving 5 - Health Promotion 6 - (reserved for possible future consideration of Sports Medicine) 7 - Special topics 8 - Fieldwork 9 - Internship Final digit - no specific meaning attached c) Deleted courses - The following courses have been deleted in the new HF listings because they have not been taught in over five years and the Department does not wish to offer them at anytime in the future: PE 126 - Body Dynamics PE 128 - Aerobic Fitness for Handicapped PE 129 - Weight Training for Handicapped PE 132 - Archery PE 150 - Synchronized Swimming Body Dynamics was developed by a Physical Education instructor who is no longer at UNCA. The course was essentially the same as Modern Dance, which will continue to be taught by Health and Fitness. Aerobic Fitness and Weight Training for the Handicapped should be deleted because all Health and Fitness instructors willingly individualize any Health and Fitness course for a handicapped person. Individualization and mainstreaming are desired rather than offering specialized courses for the handicapped on a very limited basis. Archery never was much in demand by students and the archery equipment has self-destructed. The Department does not want to go to the expense of buying new Page 3 archery equipment for a low demand course. It is extremely difficult to find an instructor to teach synchronized swimming. Students prefer to take beginning, intermediate, or advanced swimming. d) Course name change - HF 126 "Beginning Swimming" had previously been entitled "Swimming for Non-Swimmers." Since the course is also oriented to those who have an elementary swimming skill level the title was changed to best reflect who should register for the course. e) Increase of Fitness Development Course Options The following courses have been changed from "Elective Skill Development Options" to "Fitness Development Course Options." HF 126 - Beginning Swimming HF 128 - Intermediate Swimming HF 129 - Advanced Swimming The activity level required in these swimming courses is sufficiently high enough to qualify participants to meet the one hour general education requirement.

The minor includes interdisciplinary study, courses selected from disciplines outside the students' major area; internship and research opportunities; and an advanced Senior Seminar. The health promotion minor emphasizes the importance of research that documents behavioral, psychological and biological change in those pursuing health promotion studies. In addition, the minor addresses the scientific and philosophical questions which are inspired by health promotion topics. The Department of Health and Fitness also teaches courses in fitness and skill development. The requirement for graduation is a sequence of two one-semester hour courses. The first course (HF 120, The Physical Self - one hour or HF 153/Psyc 110, Health Promotion and Wellness - three hours) emphasizes concepts concerning Health, Fitness, Emotion, and Self-Concept. The course also assesses health risk and fitness levels and the student receives a recommendation concerning which of the second course options will meet his/her needs. The second course requirement (see Fitness Development Course Options) is an activity course that allows students to meet their specific recommended needs of developing their physical self. This course meets twice a week for a full semester. Grading is S/U. HEALTH PROMOTION MINOR 17-19 hours distributed as follows: HF 153, 154, 252 and 459. The additional six hours must be selected from the list below with the approval of the Health and Fitness Program director. Three hours must be outside the student's declared major. The remaining three hours can be in the student's declared major.
