WHAT IS KINESIOLOGY
Kinesiology is the study of dynamics of human movement and it’s components (anatomical, physiological, neurological, biochemical, biomechanical, neuromoto, psychological) in interaction with the environment.
In simpler terms, we can say that kinesiology is also defined as human kinetics, or the scientific study of human movement. The term comes from the Greek word kinesis, which means “to move”.
As university-educated health professionals, Kinesiologists apply exercise and movement science to promote health and well-being; prevent, manage, and rehabilitate injuries; treat illness and chronic disease; restore function; and optimize human performance in the workplace, clinical setting, sport, and fitness. Kinesiologists are the only human movement specialists who use science and research to offer movement as medicine, to any person with a health or fitness goal who wants a hands-on, personalized approach.
