Programs in Physical Education and Sport

The major in physical education and sport is designed to acquaint students with research on sport and physical conditioning; to enable students to develop advanced sport skills; and to allow individuals to focus their studies on the theoretical and performance areas of their own choosing. The program covers a range of topics, from the latest information about athletic training to current attitudes about competition and fair play. Students completing the major in physical education and sport gain a basic understanding of competitive sport and individual exercise as taught from the perspectives of physiology, kinesiology, psychology, sociology, history and philosophy.

The department prepares its graduates for careers as physical education teachers, adapted physical education teachers, coaches, athletic trainers, fitness consultants, exercise physiologists, and administrators of sport-related programs and businesses.

In addition to the 33-credit major, focusing on foundational elements of physical education and sport, the department offers six special programs:

1. teacher certification;
2. teacher certification and adapted physical education;
3. sports management;
4. athletic training;
5. exercise physiology;
6. a minor in coaching.

Performance is a critical area of study within the department. Skill courses in a range of sports and exercise areas are available for majors and non-majors alike who want to develop skills for a lifetime of recreational enjoyment and personal health. A full schedule of activities-from tennis, golf and racquetball to jogging, aerobics and weight training-is offered each semester. Physical education majors can utilize these courses to gain beginning, intermediate and advanced skills to strengthen their sport and exercise backgrounds. A complete listing of performance courses immediately follows departmental course descriptions.

4. Athletic Training Concentration

   The increased popularity of athletic participation at all levels has created a corresponding need for the medical supervision of all sports participants. To meet this need, SUNY Brockport has instituted a sports medicine curriculum to give students an opportunity to be educated as athletic trainers/sports medicine specialists.
   

   Students receive an opportunity to work within the athletic program, assisting the head athletic trainer, assistant athletic trainer, and team physician in the recognition, treatment and rehabilitation of athletic injuries.
   

   1. Internship - A 1,500-clock-hour internship prepares students for the NATA Certification Examination and for careers as athletic trainers with high schools, colleges, universities, professional teams and sport medicine clinics. Students may seek NATA Certification via examination upon successful completion of this program.
      

      Students may satisfy the 1,500 clinical hours requirement through various activities: working with a varsity team, working in the training room, and assisting the head athletic trainer.
      

   2. Certification - The National Athletic Trainers Association requires that all candidates seeking certification through the NATA internship program, meet the following criteria:
      1. Complete two years' training (minimum of 1,500 practicum hours) under the supervision of a NATA Certified Athletic Trainer;

      2. be a member in good standing of the NATA;
