Two distinct internships will be available for Exercise Science majors. Internship I is designed to give Exercise Science students practical exposure to teaching nutrition and physically training obese and morbidly obese children in Louisville. The goal is to help these children lose weight, increase lean muscle mass and improve cardiovascular endurance by working one on one with the Bellarmine student.
Internship II is designed to provide practical and specific clinical intervention experience for the exercise science student dealing with Louisville’s senior population. The student will use principles learned in exercise physiology, nutrition, exercise testing and prescription, injury prevention, community wellness and kinesiology to design and implement an intervention program as a service learning experience.
