Human Kinetics – Emphasis on biophysical sciences (BScHK)

The Honours Bachelor of Science in Human Kinetics emphasizes the biophysical sciences of human kinetics with a focus on exercise, physical activity, sports and health. It provides the knowledge, skills and techniques required to play a leading role in developing and implementing evidence-based approaches that maintain and improve human movement, and lead to numerous positive health outcomes for different populations in a variety of settings. While the program focuses on disciplines such as anatomy, biomechanics, exercise physiology and psychomotor behaviour, it also provides an understanding of how social sciences and humanities contribute to human movement and performance. The degree can lead to admission to human kinetics and rehabilitation sciences graduate programs or to teacher education, medicine or chiropractic studies. Potential additional certifications: College of Kinesiologists of Ontario, Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Exercise Physiologist), Coaching Association of Canada (National Coaching Certification Program).
