Kinesiology
study of human movement and its mechanism in relation to human anatomy
biomechanics
the focus of mechanical and physical laws that impact the movements & functions of the human body
exercise science
the study of the response and adjustment to exercise prescribed by medical professionals
exercise physiology
the study of the effects of exercise on the body and it’s responses
what are the four physiological systems that exercise physiologists study?
muscular, respiratory, nervous, and circulatory system
what do exercise physiologist look at?
short term bodily responses to exercise
how the body adapts to repeated exercise over time
adaptions of physiological systems
why do we study kinesiology?
to understand movement, prevent and treat injuries, and move effectively and efficiently
what are the three major components of kinesiology?
efficiency, effort, and work
condition, control, and skill
growth, development, and form
why do we study biomechanics?
to increase movement performance and to perform and evaluate gait analysis
