Layne teaches classes in the Health and Movement Science department, such as Intro to Kinesiology, Biomechanics, Exercise Physiology and Motor Learning. Layne teaches in this area because she comes from a family of athletes and health care professionals and how the body moves was always a topic of interest when they were together.
Motor Learning helps her to understand how best to structure and progress a practice in order to enhance an athlete’s learning abilities. Layne is also interested in Exercise Physiology, specifically exercise metabolism and how it relates to sport performance.
I get to teach some of the same classes that my grandpa, Tom Nowlin, taught when he was at Graceland.
