Full Description

Introduction to Kinesiology is committed to providing a solid introduction to the core foundations of kinesiology using a holistic, student-centered, and skill development approach. The text presents a unified view of the sub-disciplines of kinesiology so that each student can grow to appreciate the research and physical activity contributions that each area of expertise has to offer. Secondly, the learner-centered approach stresses the importance of active engagement and social interaction in the students' own construction of knowledge, which fosters long-term retention of the content, increased motivation, higher achievement, greater school satisfaction, and ultimately better prepared graduates. Lastly, students will have the opportunity to develop the necessary skills, both academic and personal, to achieve their personal and professional goals while becoming advocates for meaningful physical activity and lifelong learning.
