What it isHuman Kinetics is the study of how the human body moves and functions, combining anatomy, physiology, and exercise science. Unlike a general biology degree, it focuses specifically on physical performance, fitness, and health rather than broader biological systems. It suits students interested in exercise science, sports medicine, rehabilitation, or health-related careers who want a science-based foundation in movement and body function.Kinesiology is the study of human movement and how the body works during exercise and sport. You learn the biology behind muscles, joints, and energy systems, along with exercise science principles. This program suits students interested in fitness, sports performance, rehabilitation, or health promotion who want a science-based foundation before pursuing specialized certifications or graduate training.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.
