INTEREST IN KINE: It's one of the fastest-growing majors in higher education.

Career opportunities expanded for college-trained professionals with in-depth knowledge of scientific and humanistic bases of physical activity.• No longer just physical education departments for teachers and coaches; it is an academic base for an assortment of careers.• Increasing realization that physical activity deserves to be studied as seriously and systematically as other disciplines in higher education.

subdiscipline in kinesiology is

often related to a broader, more established "parent" discipline, such as psychology, physiology, sociology, biology, history, or philosophy.

Physical Activity Experience

Defined as training in, observation of, practice of, or participation in physical activity to increase one's capacity for physical performance.

Two fundamental effects of physical activity experience

The development of skill through practice 2. The development of physical capacity

Motor skills:

physical activities through which performers try to attain goals by executing efficient, coordinated motor responses.

Practice

physical activity experience that involves cognitive processing and leads to skill improvement

Learning:

Permanent alteration in the functioning of the nervous system that enables performers to achieve predetermined goals consistently

Physical performance capacity:

aspects of physical activity developed through training

Training

physical activity carried out for the purpose of conditioning one for performance in an athletic or other event

Conditioning

temporary end state of training reflected in the performer's possession of adequate strength, endurance, and flexibility to carry out desired tasks

Factors affecting our enjoyment of Physical Activities

Factors related to the activity• Factors related to the performer• Factors related to the social context

Fitnessgram scores are

NOT used to evaluate the overall physical education program.

One use of Fitnessgram scores is to

help student track their level of fitness over a period of time.

What Do Philosophers Do?

Philosophy's goal is to better understand the world and our lives in it. • In kinesiology, that means to better understand human movement or, as it is identified in this text, physical activity.

Research Methods:

Inductive reasoning, Deductive reasoning, Descriptive reasoning

Inductive reasoning

begins in specific cases to develop broad, general principles.

Deductive reasoning

begins with broad factual or hypothetical premises in order to determine more specific conclusions that follow from them.

Descriptive reasoning

begins with one example of some phenomenon and then varies it to see how dramatically it changes (phenomenology). Change (or its absence) allows a more accurate description of the central characteristics of the item being examined.

Materialism:

The human being is nothing more than a complex machine; subjective experiences are real but have no power.

Dualism:

The mind and body are separate. Our thoughts count; priority is given to the mind.

Holism

The mind and body are interdependent. All behavior is ambiguous. The mind and body work together.

Basic behavioral Guidelines for sport:

Follow the rules of the sport.• Respect your opponent.• Strive to bring out the best performance in one another. • Care about your opponent's well-being as much as yours. • How you play says as much about you as the scoreboard does.
