  1. College of Arts and Sciences Department of Kinesiology www.csusm.edu/kinesiology

  2. Get a B.S. in Kinesiology! • Options in: • Physical Education • Applied Exercise Science • Pre-physical Therapy • Health Science

  3. What is Kinesiology all about? • Study of human movement • Combines biology, chemistry, physics, psychology, sociology, health, and education

  4. Subdisciplines & Careers • The next slides present the major subdisciplines in the field of Kinesiology followed by possible career choices • The program at CSUSM may not include in-depth study in each of these areas so we recommend contacting a faculty advisor if you have questions • For example, we do not have programs that lead directly to Athletic Training or Registered Dietitian Certifications although many of our students pursue these in graduate school.

  5. Exercise physiology • Parent disciplines: physiology and P.E. • Study of how the body functions during exercise (stress) • Anatomy • Biochemistry • Cellular biology

  6. Areas of study in exercise phys: research • Cardiovascular system • Pulmonary system • Nervous system • Autonomic system • Muscular system • Bioenergetics and metabolism • Endocrine system • Immune system • Skeletal system

  7. Microgravity and space flight Gerontology Spinal cord injury Stroke Cardiac rehab Pulmonary rehab Body comp/wt control Exercise & diabetes Exercise & pregnancy Muscle soreness Environmental ex phys Ergogenic aids Pediatric ex phys Exercise and HIV Areas of study in exercise phys: clinical

  8. Biomechanics • Parent discipline: kinesiology • Mechanical and anatomical aspects of human movement • Biomechanics: study of human body in motion • Quantitative analysis of motion

  9. Biomechanics of exercise & sport • Exercise to minimize injury and improve performance • Equipment development (shoes, fabrics, swim suits, helmets, racquets) • Technique development (i.e. plyometrics, isokinetics)

  10. Rehabilitative biomechanics • Exercises and machines to train injured individuals • Canes, crutches, walkers, orthotics, prostheses, wheelchairs

  11. Performance and: Carbohydrate intake Protein intake Fat intake Vitamin and mineral intake Water and electrolytes Ergogenic aids Nutrition in healing Health related aspects Heart disease Genetic engineering Obesity What do sport nutritionists study?

  12. Sport psychology • Parent disciplines: psychology and physical education • Psychology: study of human behavior • Sport psychology • Fundamental relationships among human behavior, exercise, and sport

  13. Pre-competition anxiety Exercise and stress reduction PE and self-esteem Personality and sports success Exercise adherence Aggression in sport Overtraining Substance abuse in athletes Team cohesion What do sport psychologists study?
