Students with little or no experience in athletic training will have opportunities to broaden their knowledge through an intensive training curriculum. Athletic taping labs will teach students optimal taping techniques for various areas of the body, and classroom lectures will take a close look at human anatomy and the physiological interaction between bone and muscle. Student Athletic Trainers will have a better understanding of how injuries occur and why the body responds better to certain training techniques.
