Kinesiology (from the Greek words "KINEIN", to move, and "LOGOS", to study) is the scientific study of movement. The primary aims of Kinesiology are:

* understanding the human body's physiological and psychological responses to acute short-term physical activity,
* understanding the various adaptations of the human body to chronic or long-term physical activity,
* understanding the cultural, social, and historical importance or physical activity,
* understanding the mechanical qualities of movement,
* understanding the processes that control movement and the factors that affect the acquistion of motor skills, and
* understanding the psychological effects of physical activity on human behavior.


To achieve these aims, research in Kinesiology requires the use of a variety of scientific knowledge and research techniques from such fields as biology, chemistry, history, physics, psychology, and sociology. The areas of investigation within Kinesiology are quite extensive because the responses of the human body to physical activity can be examined at many levels (from cellular to whole society).

A Knowledge base in Kinesiology provides professional preparation for careers in fitness-related industries, athletic training, teaching and coaching, and health related fields such as physical therapy.
