What it is	This program teaches you how the human body moves and functions during exercise, sport, and daily activity, combining anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics. Unlike a general health science degree, kinesiology focuses specifically on physical movement and performance. The co-op option lets you work for employers in fitness, rehabilitation, or sports settings while completing your degree, suiting students who want practical experience alongside classroom learning.	Kinesiology is the study of how the human body moves and functions during exercise and physical activity. You'll learn anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics alongside sport science to understand muscle, bone, and cardiovascular systems. This program suits students interested in exercise science, athletic performance, or health-related careers who want deeper biological knowledge than general physical education offers.	Kinesiology is the study of human movement, exercise, and how the body works during physical activity. You learn biology, nutrition, and sport science through lab work and courses. The co-op option lets you alternate school terms with paid work in fitness, rehabilitation, or sports settings, giving you real experience alongside your degree.
