What it is	Kinesiology is the study of human movement, exercise, and how the body works during physical activity. You learn anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and exercise science through classroom and lab work. It suits people interested in fitness, sports performance, rehabilitation, or understanding how exercise affects health.	This program teaches you the science behind how the human body works, how diseases develop, and how medicines treat them. You study human biology, pharmacology, and related medical sciences rather than practising medicine itself. The co-op version includes mandatory work terms at healthcare or research organizations alongside your coursework, letting you test whether this field suits you before committing to further training.	Kinesiology is the science of human movement and exercise. You study how the body works during physical activity, combining biology, physics, and sport science to understand muscles, bones, energy systems, and athletic performance. This program suits people interested in exercise physiology, sports medicine, coaching, or fitness rather than those pursuing medicine or pure biology.
