Kaua`i Community College 2013 Annual Program Review for Health, Physical Education, and Recreation (HPER) December 10, 2014 Program Description The mission of the Health, Physical Education, and Recreation Program (HPER) program is to provide quality physical education and recreational activities for our students, faculty, staff and the general community. Our goal is to provide access, maintain the existing program, and continue to offer lifetime sport activities and classes to create an overall healthy lifestyle. The Kauai Community College (KCC) Health Physical Education and Recreation Program (HPER) began in the fall of 1980. The curriculum and course proposals were approved by the KCC Curriculum Committee and classes were started in the spring of 1981. Courses that were approved included Physical Fitness, Bowling, Beginning Tennis, Volleyball, Basketball, and Beginning Karate. Over the years the curriculum evolved and offerings were modified due to student/community demand and faculty expertise. Additional offerings have included Swimming, Golf, Intermediate and Advanced Tennis, Weight Training, and Racquetball. Before 2011, the following courses were offered: Physical Fitness, Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced Tennis, Basketball, and Weight Training. These classes are open to all students and serve as an elective in several of the degree programs. Since 2011, the following course proposals were approved: Beginning Yoga (HPER 108), Fitness Bootcamp (HPER 160), Health, Wellness, and Fitness (HPER 100) Intermediate Yoga (HPER 171), and Posture and Power in the Martial Arts (HPER 197). The Intermediate Yoga and the Martial Arts courses will be taught in Fall 2015 for the first semester. Both the Beginning Yoga and Fitness Bootcamp have increased participation and have two sections of each. Beginning Fall 2012, the Liberal Arts Program required students to get one hour with a cognitive health component and one hour with a physical health component. All of the HPER activity courses will be used for the physical health component, and there are some HPER courses that will have both the cognitive and the physical health component, such as the Yoga class and Health and Wellness class. Two classes, Modern Health, and CPR/First Aid are requirements for two certificate programs. In addition, weight room and tennis are open to all students and staff to use in the afternoons when classes aren’t scheduled. For the past 24 years we have used Kauai High School and Waimea High School’s gyms for Basketball classes and intramural basketball tournaments. The Island School has also been used in the last few years for the Basketball classes, and we have used Kauai Lagoons Tennis Club/golf course for intramural tournaments. In 1989, the curriculum expanded to include a health component in addition to the physical education courses. HPER 195- Modern Health: Personal and Community was added as a survey course for health occupation students, primarily pre-nursing. The course allows students to explore health related concepts and analyze their own personal health as well as explore community resources. In 2002, HPER 120 - First Aid and CPR was added to support the curriculum for the Culinary Arts students. This course follows the American Heart Association standards and the students are certified in both areas. Both of these courses were conducted by nursing faculty. In 2011, HPER 100 - Health, Wellness, and Fitness was added to the offerings. It is a 2-hour credit course with a lecture component addressing current health habits and focusing on changing health-related behaviors, and a 2-hour lab component introducing four physical activities. The four activities in the lab portion are offered as semester-long courses, so if the student likes the 4-week unit, they can enroll in the semester-long course the next semester. Beginning Spring 2015, Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced Tennis will move to the OCET Program. The enrollment has been low for the last 3 years, but it was on the upswing this semester, with 100% enrolled. Hopefully when the budget is better, the tennis classes can come back to the credit classes.

Kaua‘i Community College Office of Institutional Research 10/22/2013 Part II. Analysis of the Program – 2013-2014 The Persistence numbers would be something to evaluate in the future, but since HPER courses have primarily been electives, enrollment in those courses is based on the student’s load in other classes. But, the Liberal Arts program is now requiring their students to take at least one credit of physical health and one credit with a cognitive health designation as of Fall 2012, so numbers may go up. All HPER courses will apply to the physical health designation, with a few courses that will have both the physical and cognitive designation, such as the Beginning Yoga and the Health, Wellness, and Fitness class. The following HPER courses: Basketball, Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced Tennis have been the only activity courses offered in the 24-30 years, with Weight Training being offered for the last 8 years. With new courses being offered in the future, the persistence may change. There are three new classes: Beginning Yoga, Fitness Bootcamp and Health, Wellness, and Fitness. The Beginning Yoga has been close to capacity each semester, but may need to be evaluated for times the classes are offered. There is usually one overfull class (106%) and then the other section is 56-78% full. Fitness Bootcamp has steadily grown over the last five semesters. Health, Wellness, and Fitness (HPER 100) is a lecture/lab class that has been 40-67% capacity the last four semesters it has been taught. The HPER 100 may be a class that is only offered once a year, and the numbers may go up. Strengths The current HPER instructor has been updating and making proposals for new courses in the last 3.5 years. She created a Beginning Yoga class and a Fitness Bootcamp class. She proposed two new courses Fall 2014, with both Intermediate Yoga and Posture and Power in the Martial Arts being approved and will be taught in Fall 2015. Courses that are still in the process are Intermediate Weight Training, Walking for Fitness, and Hiking. Updates will be made for the Swimming course. And, a new Certificate will be added to the HPER course offerings. We may start with a course (will be working on it during Spring 2015), and then add to it to make a 12-credit Certificate for Personal Training. From the survey given to the students in the Fall 2012 HPER courses, the following activities were ones students were interested in if offered at KCC: Swimming for Fitness, Surfing, Intermediate Weight Training, Intermediate Yoga, Hiking, Jogging for Fitness, Karate, Cycling, Fitness Bootcamp, Volleyball, and Triathlon Training. Based on the results of the survey, she will also be updating the Karate and Swimming for Fitness classes, but needs to research the feasibility of using the YMCA pool or one of the high school’s pools. The feasibility of having a Surfing class needs more research to see if that is even a possibility. The Walking for Fitness class is a less intense class to offer and bring in more participants that may not enroll in some of the more intense classes. Currently, there are two adjuncts who teach Basketball and Tennis. The course offerings will continue to increase and offer more variety to the students. Weaknesses The fill rates for HPER 152 Weight Training from 2009-2011 were above 100%, whereas from 20112013, rates were between 67-88%. There does seem to be some differences in how the classes have been taught. Before 2011, from conversations with previous students and other faculty, there was not much academic rigor in the HPER courses, and there was a lot of freedom. By reading through the previous cumulative program review, fitness testing was done at the beginning and end of the semester, but there were no written tests or projects. Since 2011, with the current instructor, there is a higher amount of accountability and a few more requirements for each HPER course. There are skills and written testing, projects or assignments, and attendance /participation requirements, which may be why there has been such a drop from Fall 2009 through Spring 2011. The three-year Fill Rates are from 2013 (no 3-year or 5-year fill rate data from Sreang yet) indicate HPER 152 Weight Training at 92%, HPER 137 Basketball at 69%, HPER 130 Beginning Tennis at 65%, HPER 131 Intermediate Tennis at 53%, HPER 132 Advanced Tennis at 60%, HPER 199V Fitness Bootcamp at 67%, HPER 108 Beginning Yoga at 86%, and HPER 100 Health, Wellness, and Fitness at 67%, and HPER 195 Modern Health at 79% (although the last time it was taught was Spring 2011). Numbers for the Tennis classes have been low, even though we have gotten the Island School’s tennis coach to teach for the credit classes. He is also teaching the Advanced Tennis Strategies for OCET, which is good to offer fitness courses through continuing education instead of only through the credit program. This enables community members the opportunity to take fitness classes without the rigor of a college credit class. The Beginning Tennis class has not had enough students to make for the last two Fall semesters. A combination class of Beginning and Intermediate Tennis was offered in Spring 2013. However, the Beginning Tennis was on the upswing Fall 2014, with 100% enrollment. The Average Fill Rate for all HPER courses was 86% for 2010, 73% for 2011, 72% for 2012, 72% for 2013, and 74% for 2014. As of August 2012, there were two new courses offered: HPER 108 Beginning Yoga and HPER 199V, which became HPER 160 - Fitness Bootcamp. HPER 100 - Health, Wellness, and Fitness has been offered for the last four semesters. Two new courses will be offered in Fall 2015 – HPER 171 – Intermediate Yoga and HPER 197 – Posture and Power in the Martial Arts. Data indicates that there hasn’t been a lot of variety in the activity courses that were offered at KCC. There are only five activity courses that have been available for students. Beginning Tennis has been offered since 1981, Intermediate Tennis since 1982, Advanced Tennis since 1988, Basketball since 1986, and Weight Training since 2003. There have been a few other courses that were taught, but only for a few semesters, such as Bowling, Golf, Karate, Physical Fitness, Volleyball, and First Aid/CPR. By changing the course offerings in the HPER division, perhaps more students will be reached. The new HPER coordinator has responsibilities to revive the Faculty and Staff Wellness Program. In the first year of offering, 2008/09, there were teams across campus that were competing and in charge of a monthly activity, which included ballroom dancing, weight room activities, walking, and line dancing. In 2009/10, there were activities, but the team concept was dropped. In 2010/11, there was a dramatic decrease in wellness programs and participants. The Wellness committee did not meet regularly. In 2011/12, the new HPER instructor provided fitness testing and 20 faculty/staff participated. The weight room was open for afternoon usage for faculty/staff and students. The Wellness committee met twice each semester. A survey was dispersed to faculty and staff to find out their interests. In 2012/2013, the HPER instructor offered a Fitness Bootcamp class on three days a week for faculty and staff. During the fall semester, days were Monday/Wednesday/Friday. During the spring semester, the days will change to Tuesday/Thursday/Friday to be sure to include all who are interested. She is also participating on Get Fit Kauai’s Worksite Wellness Program, and KCC participated in Spring/Fall 2014. KCC placed 13 out of the 19 teams that finished. The challenge was based on policy change within our business. Based on the survey she administered to faculty and staff, one of the areas they had interest was Ayurveda, and she has found an Ayurvedic practitioner who came to campus to do a presentation during Fall 2013. During Fall 2014, the HPER coordinator brought together 5 divisions to put on a Campus-wide Health Fair. Nursing students provided Blood Glucose testing and Blood Pressure and Poster presentations. Massage students and teacher provided chair massages. Hawaiian Studies provided Kava. HPER students provided Poster presentations. The Wellness Center provided free Cholesterol Screening for the first 18 to sign up. The Health and Wellness Committee also helped. We had a few outside vendors show up as well. There were 119 people that participated in or attended the Health Fair. Currently, KCC does not have a Health and Physical Education building or swimming pool, even though it was in the blueprints for the campus. Current facilities include a small weight room and four tennis courts. There are no bathroom or shower facilities at the areas of fitness. The current weight room is not large enough for the students to lift using free weights. There is not room currently for a squat rack, but if we could expand the weight room on the free weight side of the room, we could get a squat rack and actually have more room to lift. Currently, without a restroom facility near the weight room or tennis courts, and with the nearest restroom sometimes closed, students and faculty/staff have had to change clothes in the weight room or a storage closet on the courts. That would not happen if we actually had a bathroom closer to the exercise facilities. Some students have had stomach issues during class, and barely made it to the closest bathroom, which is currently either the Welding Building or the Fine Arts Building, since the Campus Center is under construction. When I asked Calvin Shirai about an estimated cost for adding a bathroom/shower facility and adding on to the weight room, he estimated $100,000 for each part. He said that the sewage pipes closest to the weight room were at the front of the Campus Center, which made me think about other possibilities. If we were to build a larger weight room attached to the campus center, that would be closer to the sewage pipes, so maybe the cost wouldn’t be as high. The current weight room could be used as a HPER classroom, to use for such classes as Beginning Yoga. Currently, Beginning Yoga is held in the Health Sciences building, so we put up the chairs and desks at the beginning and end of each class. It would send out an affirming message to students and the community at KCC if we were to actually have a building or large activity center dedicated to the health and wellbeing of the students and faculty/staff, and community members. If we had a large activity center, we could have the basketball class on campus instead of going to one of the high schools. And, with the addition of the two credit hours of cognitive and physical health required for the Liberal Arts program, we could offer more classes with added facility space. When asked by the Health Education Coordinator at the Health District if we had a gym so that we could be a site for a senior community fitness program, she was shocked that KCC didn’t have a gym. Without a wide open space and storage facilities, KCC would not be a good site. If we had our own gym, we would not have to use Waimea, Kapaa or Island School for Basketball classes. If we had our own dressing rooms and shower facility, students wouldn’t be changing their clothes in the weight room or the storage closet on the tennis courts. Neither of those places is ideal, not appropriate. Also, students wouldn’t have near accidents because the bathroom facilities are a hike to either the Campus Center or Welding. And, having a space dedicated for Yoga classes would also be more beneficial than putting up desks and chairs everyday in the Health Sciences classroom. Significant Program Actions 1. Revive Wellness Program In Fall 2012, the HPER instructor changed the time/days of the Fitness Bootcamp class to be open to as many faculty and staff as possible to attend at the end of the workday. This class addressed activities that faculty/staff said they were interested in last fall. Activities included in the class are weight lifting, yoga, walking/jogging, core strengthening, and other bootcamp fitness activities. The fitness bootcamp class was faculty only for the first two semesters, and then students were allowed to take the class. There is mixed feedback. Some faculty/staff would prefer a Faculty/Staff Only class, and others are fine with the addition of students. I still have hopes of offering a few Lunch and Learn sessions. I have brought outside speakers to campus to offer expertise in Ayurveda and Aromatherapy. Also, we implemented an online Nutritional program Spring 2014, an 8-class program, that KCC reimbursed the people who finished by the deadline. I hope to offer two Lunch and Learns addressing topics of interest: Fitness with Little to No Equipment, Nutritional Education, Weight Management, Stress Management, Understanding the Dimensions of Wellness, and Caring for Your Aging Parents. In Spring 2015, we will be doing a campus-wide fitness/nutrition challenge through Active for Life. This challenge will include students, faculty, and staff. Part III.
