BIOL 333 - Kinesiology

Credits: (4)
Students will learn about the varied approaches that researchers take to understanding human movement. Students will be introduced to the subdisciplines of kinesiology that examine how we move (exercise physiology, biomechanics) and why we move (psychology and sociology of sport and exercise). Students will learn about and discuss approaches within these subdisciplines, but they will also examine how the integrated nature of kinesiology facilitates its application in medical, physical fitness, sport, and physical education settings. In lab, they will practice measuring movement and designing projects that integrate ideas from multiple subdisciplines. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 101, BIOL 111, BIOL 298
