Introduction to Kinesiology

This LEAP paring will allow students to gain an understanding of the broad field of Kinesiology and is appropriate for those looking to major or minor in Kinesiology. 

The Cultural and Behavioral Foundations of Kinesiology (KINES 100) introduces and integrates the philosophical, ethical, historical, cultural, and psychological foundations of kinesiology. Kinesiology is a dynamic, multi-disciplinary area devoted to the study of human movement. Kinesiology is unique in that it covers the "three cultures" of academia: the sciences, the social sciences, and the humanities. This foundational, entry-level survey course introduces students to social scientific and the humanistic approaches to sport, exercise, health, wellness, and physical activity.

The Biophysical Foundations of Kinesiology (KINES 101) introduces and integrates the physiological, neural, anatomical and biomechanical foundations of kinesiology. Throughout the course, applications to human health, physical activity, and to health and fitness professions are provided.

This pride is reserved for students in the College of Health and Human Development or the Division of Undergraduate Studies.
