Program Summary
Human kinetics is the study of human movement, focusing on the principles of biomechanics, physiology, anatomy, and psychology as they relate to physical activity and performance. It explores how the body moves, adapts to exercise, and responds to different forms of physical stress. The course covers topics such as motor learning, sports science, exercise physiology, rehabilitation, and injury prevention. It integrates theoretical knowledge with practical applications in sports, fitness, and health promotion. Students in this field develop skills in assessing movement, designing training programs, and understanding the impact of physical activity on overall well-being. The discipline is essential for careers in sports coaching, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and other health-related professions.
