“My
group
presentation
was
on
Parkinson’s
Disease.
I
learned
a
great
Knowledge deal
about
the
disease
itself,
and
how
exercise
can
alleviate
detrimental
conditions associated
with
Parkinson’s.
I
found
this
topic
particularly
relevant
to
me
as
my
grandfather
has
been
diagnosed
with
Parkinson’s.
I
now
know
why
he
has
hunched
posture,
tremors
in
his
hands
and
a
shuffled
gait.”
Communication
“Since
many
Revved
Up
participants
have
difficulties
with
communication,
including
understanding
direction
and
speaking,
I
Skills have
fostered
skills
to
both
understand
what
my
participant
is
asking
for,
and
communicate
direction
to
them
in
a
clear,
simple
way.”What you will gain
“Throughout
my
time
in
KNPE
336
and
436,
I
have
learned
a
plethora
Leadership
Skills of
transferable
skills,
such
as
patience, time management
and
leadership,
both
when
working
in
the
gym
and
through
the
coursework.”
“Building
on
my
knowledge
from
the
336
online
modules,
and
the
436
tutorials
and
readings,
I
learned
how
to
assess
exercise
intensity
and
Transferable
Skills volume,
and
make
appropriate
adjustments
to
a
program.
While
in
336
this
knowledge
was
novel,
my
supervisory
role
in
436
allowed
me
to
expand
upon
this
knowledge
with
greater
autonomy,
which
advanced
my
decision-‐making
and
critical
thinking
skills.
Given
my
personal
interest
in
fitness,
this
will
be
advantageous
to
my
daily
life
and
future
professional
endeavors.”Typical Course Order
