Fall 2025 Lecture Distance Learning Lower Division
This course will provide an introduction to the physical and behavioral sciences underlying kinesiology, the study of human movement. The course will cover foundational concepts in exercise physiology, biomechanics, motor behavior, sport and exercise psychology, and sociology and history of physical activity. The course will take an interdisciplinary perspective, exploring both key concepts in each of these sub-areas of kinesiology, and how they are integrated to understand problems in human movement, exercise, physical activity, sport, and healthy lifestyles.
Learning Outcomes1Explain basic concepts in exercise physiology, biomechanics, motor behavior, sport and exercise psychology, and sociology and history of physical activity.
