Kinesiology 191KIN3 - FYS - Understanding Running

This course will give incoming SPHHS students an introduction to quantitative health sciences and where the knowledge in our field comes from. The health sciences will be presented through the lens of running mechanics, a topic that often appears in popular media and which will provide a backdrop for conversations on the difference between media presentations of anecdotal knowledge and scientific papers which present hypothesis-driven research.

Open to freshmen in the following majors: Public Health, Communication Disorders, Kinesiology, and Nutrition.
