At its core, kinesiology explores the science of human movement, performance, and function.
To achieve this, it draws upon a vast array of fundamental sciences, including Biochemistry, Biophysics, Biomechanics, Biostatistics, Anatomy, Physiology, Exercise Physiology, Neuroscience, and more..
Biophysics.
Kinesiology and Exercise Science.
Description: The Honours Bachelor of Science with specialization in Human Kinetics program emphasizes the bio-physical sciences of human kinetics, thus focusing on the disciplines of biomechanics, exercise physiology, and psychomotor behavior..
Biophysical Foundations of Kinesiology: Studying Human Movement and Health was written and designed specifically for introductory courses focusing on the biophysical aspects of kinesiology and exercise science..
Doing the mathematics in a physics course is good training for the mathematics you will want for kinesiology when you want to describe how efficiently your body uses oxygen or how drugs work.
Physics also teaches you how to deal with experimental data.
Using next generation technology, research and clinical expertise, we promote and prescribe healthy lifestyle changes for all individuals seeking quality in their lives.
Kinesiology is the science of human movement, applying the latest evidenced-based research to improve function, health and wellness of people in all settings and populations.
The third edition is intended for entry -level courses focusing on the biophysical aspects of kinesiology and exercise science.
The major areas of study include:
For academic or professional information specific to the kinesiology doctoral program, please contact the program director William Massey, Ph.D.
In the Oregon State kinesiology doctoral program, you’ll focus on the theoretical and practical study of human movement for the promotion of optimal health and disease prevention.
