About this Course

Course Description

This course will introduce the preliminary of the discipline of kinesiology, demonstrating how its many subject areas integrate into the study of the various disciplines that encompass the movement of the human body. This all-inclusive approach will give students a solid background in the field and prepares them for further study and course work. It is an umbrella class of study which covers many different knowledge disciplines. The primary focuses of kinesiology are human physiology, biomechanics, and anatomy. Through this course, a student will get a broad understanding of most things that can relate to human movement. Study focus will cover the psychology, physiology, ecology, and even sociology of sports and exercise
