We are looking for open content for our Foundations of Sport Management course. Course description is below. Is anyone aware of anything?

I have not had much success finding a foundations text for sport management. I've found bits and pieces, but no comprehensive course or text. I have a small sports management section in our LibGuide, here: http://library.cscc.edu/oer/bysubject

I’ve been incredibly blessed with many requests for OER materials in a variety of courses! Most of which I have been able to find many resources however I could use some direction on Fitness Walking.

Found on MERLOT:

Adaptive Physical Education

PE 201 - Introduction to Laboratory Techniques in Adapted Physical Education
Course Description – This course provides an introduction to Adapted Physical Education with an orientation to specific disabilities. Exercise theory and techniques will be discussed and wheelchair transfers will be practiced. Consequences of disuse syndrome and fitness benefits of exercise will also be discussed. Students will gain practical experience working with students with disabilities who are enrolled in the Adapted Physical Education classes. Students interested in pursuing careers in physical education, kinesiology, physical therapy, and nursing will find this course valuable.

Have you thought about contacting one of the associations and asking for permissions to use their information and/or requesting information?
Here are a few options if that interests you. There may be some grant programs for developing this type of curriculum for OER too so that it is more accessible.
https://www.shapeamerica.org/standards/adapted/default.aspx?hkey=8cedd80e-1b61-4af7-819e-c5f33b2da9de
https://apens.org/certification.html
https://www.pecentral.org/adapted/adaptedsites.html
https://www.cde.state.co.us/cdesped/ape
There may be any number of options out there. Additionally most government websites will have their information in the public domain, so if there is anything out there that regulates/educates for this under the government they may have some additional information too.

Exercise Science

An Exercise Science faculty member is looking for resources he describes as "applied anatomy." Course descriptions:
EXS 321: Study of the musculoskeletal structure of the living human body; bones and their specific articulations; segments and their movements; muscles and their attachments and actions. Special emphasis is placed on musculoskeletal analysis of basic exercise and movement patterns.
EXS 322: Integration of skeletal and neuromuscular anatomy with mechanical principles of human motion. Analysis of sports skills for performance improvement.
These are my suggestions, but I'm not certain that they cover the "applied" need:
- OpenStax A&P
- Human Anatomy and Physiology Preparatory Course
Any other recommendations to share?

I have been working with a faculty on this same thing. He is using a combination of the course texts you linked below but struggling with the applied piece as well. He is using the text and working on a lab manual. He did require his students to purchase the Visible Body software ($22 per student). While this is not an OER, it does reduce costs. Because its applications cover a host of courses, I am working on a statewide license for it to bring that cost to students to $0.

I am very interested in seeing more application development for products like this with open licenses. Especially in the sciences, I believe there is a need to supplement texts in a more applied way.

Sports Officiating

I'm working on a Z-Degree project via an NDUS Fellowship Grant here in North Dakota. I've been digging up substitutes for faculty to consider, and I've run into a few topics that appear to not have any obvious OER pieces.

Sports and Society

I have a faculty member teaching a Sports & Society course and is looking for an OER. Please let me know if anyone has resources to share. Thank you!
Course Description
Examines the role of sport in historical and modern societies. This course investigates the social, political, and economic influences of sport as well as the impact of various gender, ethnic, and cultural groups. While this course places an emphasis on the effects in US society, students will explore how sport influences and shapes attitudes among various societies worldwide.
SLOs
Performance- Analyze the role of gender, race, ethnicity, and culture in the context of sport and as it relates to society
Knowledge – Identify social theories in the study of sport and society, from the past to present.
Theory – Explain historical and contemporary events, trends, and contributions in sports, and analyze their effect on social, political, and economic change.

OpenStax's free, peer-reviewed, openly licensed Introduction to Anthropology textbook features a chapter titled "Art, Music, and Sport," providing an
anthropological view of sports throughout time.
You can access OpenStax's entire library of online OER textbooks here. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Yoga

An instructor is looking for an OER to replace a commercial textbook for yoga classes. Course topics include:
Intro to Yoga practice
Who is yoga for ?
Advantages of beginning w/ a face to face class vs an online class
Pranayama or breathing as a tool
Psychological benefits
Emotional benefits (e.g. decrease anxiety / PTSD / depression)
Advantages of stretching / strengthening

A quick search in the OTL and OER Commons didn't turn up results. Any help?
I have a faculty member who pulls together some of the materials on the Open Research Library.
She combines this with primary documents about the practice found on Hathi Trust. Merlot's course was too basic for her course level but might suit your faculty.

Hi all, thanks for the suggestions - the instructor is going to be able to switch away from the commercial textbook previously assigned :) Here's the roundup of responses I received (not all openly licensed):
- https://vikasayoga.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/1-Foundation-TT-an-Introdution-to-Yoga.pdf
- Concepts of Fitness and Wellness text by Flynn, Jellum, et al includes a chapter on flexibility: https://oer.galileo.usg.edu/health-textbooks/4/
- Yoga themed writing textbook: https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/textbooks/yoga-minds-writing-bodies-contemplative-writing-pedagogy
- NCSU Alt Textbook funded a Yoga text a few years back: https://yoga.dasa.ncsu.edu/
- https://openresearchlibrary.org/search-results/g%3Dyoga
- https://contentbuilder.merlot.org/toolkit/html/stitch.php?s=15901665404347

UTA offered a yoga MOOC a couple of years ago. I haven’t looked into the licensing, but here’s the link:
