An introduction to the basic principles of scientific inquiry in Kinesiology. A systematic treatment of the logic and practice of methods and techniques employed in research related to physical activity with an examination of design, sampling, data gathering and analysis. Prerequisite: Kinesiology students only. 3 lectures. (Fall and Winter Terms)
Methods and procedures used in evaluating human physical performance are studied and practiced. Measurements of strength, motor performance, work capacity, reaction time and others, are included. Prerequisite: Kinesiology 222 (Winter and Spring Terms) 3 lectures, 2 hours lab.
Prevention and correction of accidents in athletic activities. The use of proper personal and field equipment, support methods, conditioning exercises, the medical examination and therapeutic aids. Prerequisite: Kinesiology 200 3 lectures, 2 hours lab. (Fall and Winter Terms)
346*)
An elementary course in nutrition with special emphasis on diet for sport and certain physiological conditions. Prerequisite: Kinesiology 317 or equivalent. 3 lectures. (Winter Term)
Employing a sociological and psychological frame of reference, the process and problems of aging will be analysed. Special emphasis will be given to the problem of leisure time in the later years of life. Prerequisites: Sociology 101 and one other Sociology course. 3 lectures. (Fall and Spring Terms)
An introduction to the theories of learning motor activity, individual differences, retention, transfer and other topics. Laboratory sessions enable the student to reproduce some of the standard experiments in this field. Prerequisite: Kinesiology students only or permission of instructor. 3 Lectures, 2 hours lab. (Winter Term)
A study of the metabolic and environmental aspects of exercise, fatigue, training, and physical fitness. Work capacity in relation to age and sex will be examined. Prerequisites: Kinesiology 300 and 317. 3 lectures, 2 hour lab. (Winter and Spring Terms)
Principles of physiology and movement analysis as they apply to the development of maximal human motor performance are examined. Consideration is given to the effects of environmental, psychological and social factors on such developments. Intended for students not electing Kinesiology 401*, Physiology of Physical Activity, Part 2. Prerequisites: Kinesiology 300 and 321. 3 lectures, 2 hours lab. (Winter Term)
The changing capacities and interests of man are studied as he grows and develops. The contribution of physical activity to growth, and physical, psychological and sociological development is examined. Prerequisites: Kinesiology 200 and Biology 303. 3 lectures. (Fall and Spring Terms)
A study of the interrelationship between the environment which man structures and human motor abilities. Currently available facilities and equipment will be studied as to suitability of design with reference to the size, strength, work capacity and other limitations of the user. Prerequisites: Kinesiology 200, 321. 3 hours lecture. (Fall and Spring Terms)
A study of the problems involved in the planning and maintenance of various athletic plants used by schools and recreation agencies and the selection and care of the equipment and supplies used with these facilities. 3 lectures, (Falland Winter Terms)
Department of Kinesiology
A detailed analysis, from a mechanical and anatomical perspective, of skilled and unskilled performance in dance and selected sports activities. Cinematography and electromyography laboratory sessions will be emphasized to investigate changes which occur during skill acquisition. “Normal” and “abnormal” movement patterns will be studied for insight into central nervous system mechanisms involved in skilled movement. Prerequisite: Kinesiology 321. 3 lectures, 2 hours lab. (Winter and Spring Terms)
Each student will work under the direction of a member of the department on au approved research topic in Kinesiology, Health Studies or Dance. The results of the investigation will be presented in thesis form. Prerequisite: Kinesiology students only.
The study of individual problems and their implications for the Kinesiologist. Body mechanic problems, orthopaedic disabilities, neurological disabilities, psychologic disorders, heart disturbances and nutritional problems will be discussed in depth. Prerequisite: Kinesiology 200. 2 lectures, 2 hours lab. (Winter Term)
An application of major psychological theories to the central problems of sport and physical activity. Current research in the area will be examined. Major emphasis will be placed upon gaining an insight into those psychological factors influencing performance and behaviour of the sport participant. Prerequisites: Psychology 101, 355 or consent of instructor. 3 lectures, (Fall and Spring Terms)
An introduction to the sociology of sport. Utilizing the major frames of reference of the social sciences, the function of sport in contemporary society is examined. Prerequisite: Sociology 101 and one other Sociology course. 3 lectures (Winter and Spring Terms)
This course will focus upon the effects of participating in physical activity programs upon the socio-psychological adjustment of the individual. Although attempts will be made to show how common sports and physical activity situations generally influence development and adjustment, emphasis will be given to the uniqueness of the individual personality and how a person reacts to different situations. Prerequisites: Psychology 101, 355, or consent of instructor. 3 hours lecture. (Fall and Spring Terms)
An introduction to the social psychology of sport and physical activity, including sport involvement and personality, attitude, and beliefs; the team as a small group; and social influence and facilitation in sport situations. Prerequisite: Two term courses in psychology or social psychology. 3 lectures. (Winter and Spring Terms)
An examination of the current major issues in Kinesiology. Included will be discussion of trends in applied kinesiology. Prerequisite: Kinesiology students only. 3 hours.
A study of the basic principles and philosophies of coaching today. An examination of the qualifications and responsibilities of the coach, resource materials and problems pertinent to coaching. Prerequisite: Kinesiology students only. 3 lectures.
Physical Activities Courses
Instructional courses at basic and advanced levels for over twenty sports are available to all Kinesiology students. Detailed listings are available at the time of pre-registration. In addition, outdoor camping and ski schools are offered to upper year students. A nominal charge will be made to cover the extra costs of these two schools. All activity courses are elective and non-credit. Students should consult with a faculty advisor concerning requirements in this area for entry into careers such as teaching.
