Describe several ways in which university physical education programs have changed.Answer: At one time, university physical education departments were geared entirely to train physical education teachers. Since then a huge evolution has occurred in the diversity of knowledge and its application in the field. This vast expansion of the scope of the discipline has resulted in the growth of new and exciting areas for employment for graduates. It has also resulted in the diversification and partial fragmentation of university physical and health education programs. Now none of these programs are geared entirely to train physical education teachers, although many still do this as part of their mandate. To avoid a narrow association of physical education with training for the school system, many university programs have changed their names. In addition, most university physical education programs were once associated with the university athletics departments. While some university physical education programs are still administratively linked to athletics, most others are now administratively separate, as part of faculties of science, or have been combined in some way with other university health sciences programs.2. What is the goal of commercial health and fitness programs, and how do they achieve this goal?Answer: Commercial programs all have one thing in common – their objective is to generate a profit for their owners or shareholders. Membership sales are the major focus of commercial facilities, supported by retail sales of clothing and equipment, restaurant and entertainment facilities, special events such as tennis tournaments, fees for consulting and training, and fees for weight-loss programs and accompanying specialized meals. Some commercial facilities focus more on member retention by meeting the long-term needs of their clients. Market research shows that it costs far more to attract a new member than to retain an existing member, so facilities that follow the retention business model tend to advertise and promote less than sales-based facilities.3. What type of training do facility directors need?Answer: Many people with experience working in health and fitness facilities go on to become facility directors – which requires training in health and fitness disciplines as well as management training such as accounting, sales management, and organizational development. These individuals require a multidisciplinary educational background and a strong foundation in kinesiology. Often they are called on to conduct market research, identify emerging trends in our society, and help develop plans for new facilities or equipment.4. Discuss job opportunities in the field of sports marketing.Answer: Marketing programs help make sport organizations more successful. Job opportunities in sports marketing include public relations and advertising; on-air or in-stadium public address announcing; research on sports fans’ attitudes; and creating, producing, and promoting sports memorabilia.5.
