This course is an interdisciplinary approach to Kinesiology, the science of human movement.
The objectives of this course include:
(1) providing students with a rounded overview of the subfields of Kinesiology including motor control, exercise physiology, biomechanics, sports medicine, exercise neuroscience, and exercise psychology.
(2) highlighting the importance of Kinesiology and how it is being used in our everyday settings.
(3) introducing students to scientific research articles and evidence-based theories and practices.
(4) encouraging critical thinking about how science is portrayed to the public.
(5) and developing skills to maintain students' own lifetime health and wellness.
On completion of this course, students will be able to demonstrate understanding of the following topics:
(1) The goals, scope, significance and methods of the field of Kinesiology
(2) The various sub-disciplines of Kinesiology
(3) The multidimensional changes in human movement capability that occur with maturation and as an adaptation to physical activity
Additionally, on successful completion of the course, students will have a suitable foundation for more detailed studies of kinesiology.
