Kinesiology (HHD)

The Department of Kinesiology studies physical activity and human movement to promote human health and well being in a changing natural and built environment, to develop interventions and policies that improve human health and performance, and to understand basic mechanisms of human movement and the complex dynamics of physical activity.

Research is organized within six areas of study: Athletic Training and Sports Medicine, Biomechanics, Exercise Physiology, History and Philosophy of Sport, Motor Control, and Psychology of Physical Activity.
