Kinesiology and Exercise Science
We are made up of physical, social, spiritual and mental / emotional aspects that integrate to form, complete and make us individually whole. The physiological benefits of exercise upon the human condition are well documented; moreover, research continues to demonstrate the benefits of physical activity upon the social, spiritual and mental / emotional well being of its participants. Along with our minds and spirits, we take our bodies to places of leisure, learning, work and worship. Therefore, attaining knowledge and skills related to physical health, fitness and wellness allows for the promotion of the total well being of man. Thus, it is the aim of the Kinesiology and Exercise Science department to:
