KINESIOLOGY Kinesiology, as the study of human movement, utilizes a comprehensive and integrative approach to examine phenomena related to all aspect of physical therapy.
It is also known as: The study of the anatomical and mechanical basis of human movement. Kinesiology includes anatomy, mechanics and physiology of muscles and skeleton. There is considerable overlap between the disciplines of kinesiology and biomechanics. Professionals apply kinesiology principles to the acquisition, performance and refinement of motor skills and to the use of physical activity as an educative tool and a medium for health promotion, personal well being, and participation in an active life style.

These areas includes, Exercise and sports biomechanics History Philosophy Physiology Biochemistry Psychology Sociology Motor behavior Physical fitness An interdisciplinary approach involving several of these areas is often used in addressing problems of importance to society.
The study of kinesiology can lead to variety of careers involving teaching, research, coaching and delivery of services related to physical activity and fitness, health promotion, rehabilitation and sports medicine. Positions are found in a variety of settings include schools, colleges and universities, public and private agencies, clinical environments, govt : , business and the military.
