Human Kinetics

The scientific study of human body movement, human kinesiology includes biomechanics and the study of orthopedics; strength and conditions; methods of rehabilitation, such as physical and occupational therapy; and sport exercise science. Measurements from motion tracking systems, electrophysiology of muscle and brain activity, various methods for monitoring physiological function, and other behavioral and cognitive research techniques. Our researchers view adaptation through exercise as a key principle of kinesiology. This conversion allows for improved fitness and wellness in athletes and the clinical populations.
