Role of kinesiology in physical education:
Kinesiology and physical education study the role exercise, physical
movement and sports play in the development of human health and happiness. They apply sciences like
biomechanics, anatomy, physiology and psychology to better understand how the human body responds to
physical activity.
To succeed in kinesiology and physical education students should be interested in the benefits and processes
related to fitness and physical activity. Students will need to develop strong critical thinking skills in order to think
critically about the role of activity as a means to promote health and well-being.
