Human kinetics is the study of human movement and exercise, and its impact on health and the body's performance and function. It is also referred to as exercise science.
In the human kinetics bachelor's degree program at the University of Regina, you will study biomechanics, physiology, exercise physiology, motor control theory, and exercise psychology in relation to health, wellness, and disease. You will focus on both individual and community based programming, as well as rehabilitation, lifestyle management, and chronic disease prevention. You will also learn about disability and the relationship to physical activity, assessment and rehabilitation.
In the human kinetics program, you will focus on both individual and community-based programming, while combining a strong understanding of anatomy, physiology, nutrition, biomechanics, movement behaviour, and exercise psychology. You will also learn about disability and the relationship to physical activity, assessment, and rehabilitation.
Sometimes called exercise science, the human kinetics bachelor's program at the U of R will prepare you for a unique health career. Get career-ready with a 15-week, full-time field work experience, applying what you learned from studying your major. This level of experience prior to degree completion is not common in other undergraduate kinesiology programs.
