Course Description: Kinesiology is the study of human structure and function as they relate to health and disease, and to performance and work and sport, throughout the life cycle. The purpose of this course is: - to examine health from a holistic perspective, in which health is viewed as the product of physical, psychological, and social well-being. - to make students aware of the role of personal behaviours (such as diet, exercise, stress management, and drug use) in one's health status - to improve students' abilities to evaluate health information. A variety of factors that influence health will be considered, including nutrition, physical activity, hygiene, drugs, intimate relationships, socioeconomic status, health care, and aging.
