KIN1011

KIN1011 is an introductory course typically offered within a university's kinesiology or human movement science department. The course aims to provide students with a foundational understanding of the principles governing human physical activity and its effects on the body. Topics covered often include basic anatomy and physiology as they relate to movement, biomechanics, and the physiological responses to exercise. Students may also explore the historical development of the field of kinesiology and its various subdisciplines.

The curriculum of KIN1011 usually involves lectures, laboratory sessions, and potentially some assigned readings. Laboratory components are designed to allow students to observe and measure physiological responses during physical activity, or to analyze simple biomechanical principles. The goal is to bridge theoretical knowledge with practical application, enabling students to grasp how the body functions during movement. This course often serves as a prerequisite for more specialized courses within the kinesiology program. Successful completion of KIN1011 typically requires a satisfactory performance on examinations, laboratory reports, and other assigned coursework. The course is generally intended for undergraduate students early in their academic careers who are interested in pursuing further study in areas such as exercise science, sports medicine, physical therapy, or coaching.
