What it is	This program teaches you the science of human movement and physical activity – how bodies work during exercise, sport, and recreation. You study physiology, biomechanics, and exercise science rather than coaching or fitness training alone. The co-op option lets you combine classroom learning with paid work terms at sports organizations, hospitals, or fitness centres, giving you real experience alongside your degree.	You study the science of human movement and fitness combined with teaching and coaching methods. This program integrates exercise physiology, biomechanics, and sport psychology with practical skills in coaching athletes and leading fitness programs. Unlike a pure kinesiology degree, this one prepares you directly for careers coaching teams or instructing fitness classes. It suits people who want to work in sports, recreation, or wellness settings and learn both the scientific reasoning and hands-on teaching side.	Kinesiology is the scientific study of human movement, exercise, and how the body works during physical activity. You'll learn anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and exercise science through lab work and practical classes. This program suits students interested in sport science, fitness, rehabilitation, or health promotion who want a science-based foundation rather than coaching or athletic training alone.
