Undergraduate Course Descriptions
Courses in Kinesiology, Health Studies and Dance are offered within the Department of Kinesiology. Descriptions of Health Studies and Dance courses follow those for the Kinesiology courses below. For details of programmes in all three areas see
The study of human physical movement from mechanical, anatomical and physiological viewpoints is discussed. The course provides a general orientation to the study of Kinesiology.
A cultural historical review of the development of sport and physical activity from the early Greek period to modern times. Special emphasis is placed on the development of sport in Canada since 1900 and the role of physical activity of all kinds in today’s society.
A study of the human anatomical stystems and their integration. Particular emphasis is placed on the skeletal, articular and muscular systems. Prerequisite: Kinesiology students or permission of instructor
An examination of the transient and persistent effects of exercise on physiological functions. Topics include muscular and cardio-respiratory function and the effects of varying environments upon their performance. Prerequisite: Honours Dance students only 3 lectures, 3 hours laboratory in alternating weeks, Winter term Not offered in 1975
KIN 222Statistical Techniques Applied to Kinesiology
An introduction to descriptive and inferential statistics and the interpretation of data. A major consideration of the course is the use of statistics in the solution
A study of the principles underlying general administrative behaviour with an emphasis upon understanding the role and mechanics of decision making. Case study analysis and practical project work are utilized to foster the development of the student’s administrative technique.
A study of the effects of physical activity on the muscular, circulatory and respiratory systems and the mechanisms through which the body adapts to activity and environment.
An elementary course in human biochemistry including the metabolism and function of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and hormones. Emphasis is placed on the application of biochemical principles to human movement.
Anatomical, neural and mechanical considerations in the qualitative and quantitative analysis of human movement are examined. Concepts related to the biostatics and biodynamics of linked segment models of human motion are introduced.
Prerequisite: Physics 103*, Kinesiology 200* and 222*
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.
The nature and methodology of assessment is reviewed from theoretical and empirical perspectives. Taxonomies of motor performance are examined and principles developed for the measurement of specific constructs in field and laboratory situations. Prerequisite: Kinesiology 222*
An introductory course to the area of sports medicine, including the prevention, care and rehabilitation of common sports injuries. Considerable attention is directed towards the mechanisms of traumatic injuries as well as the management in the acute, intermediate and advanced stages of injury care.
Prerequisites: Kinesiology 200*, 3rd and 4th year students only
3 lectures, 2 hours laboratory, Fall and Winter terms
A course for those students wishing additional study in the area of athletic medicine. Topics to be presented include trauma to the head and vertebral column, internal injuries, heat problems and the medical and non-medical use of drugs in sport. Prerequisites: Kinesiology 340*, 300*, 317*
KIN 352Aging, the Aged and Leisure: A Sociological and Social Psychological Perspective (Sociology 373*)
Employing a sociological and psychological frame of reference, the process and problems of aging are analysed. Special emphasis is given to the problem of leisure time in the later years of life.
An application of major psychological theories to the central problems of sport ahd physical activity. Current research in the area is examined. Major emphasis is placed upon gaining an insight into those psychological factors influencing performance and behaviour of the sport participant.
Prerequisites: Psychology 101*, and one other Psychology course
An examination of the social influences and group processes which occur within sport teams. Topics include conformity, the influence of onlookers and co-actors, leadership, group structure, and cohesion. Prerequisite: 2 term courses in Psychology, or consent of instructor
An introduction to the concepts and theories of learning motor skills. Laboratory sessions enable the student to participate in a variety of commonly used experimental procedures which relate to concepts and theories presented in lectures.
KIN 356Information Processing in Human Perceptual Motor Performance
An information processing model of perceptual-motor behaviour is presented. Human performance theory is used to study those processes mediating input and output information. Specifically, the subprocesses of storage of information in memory, perception, retrieval of information from memory and execution of movement are examined. Principles derived from the model are applied to the teaching of motor skills, the study of mental retardation and the study of skill deterioration in old age.
Prerequisite: Kinesiology 355* or consent of instructor
A study of the metabolic and environmental aspects of exercise, fatigue, training, and physical fitness. Work capacity in relation to age and sex is examined. Prerequisites: Kinesiology 300* and 317*
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 development. Intended for students not electing Kinesiology 401*.
The changing capacities and interests of man are studied as he grows and develops. The contribution of physical activity to growth, and physical, psychological development is examined.
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, Fall and Winter terms
The quantitative analysis of human movement from a biomechanical perspective, including some neural control processes. Static, kinematic and kinetic analyses of single and multi-segment models of a variety of human movement forms are conducted. Prerequisite: Kinesiology 321*.
3 lectures, 2 hours laboratory, Fall and Spring terms
An independent research project on an approved topic, supervised by a faculty member. Required of all students enrolled in Honours and General programmes in Kinesiology.
Kinesiology 431* includes an approved design and the completion of the first segment of the paper. Prerequisites: Depending upon the topic selected, the student is required to achieve at least 60% in appropriate courses. A complete listing is available in the Departmental office.
Kinesiology 432* inchides the completion of the project begun i in Kinesiology 431*.
The study of individual problems and their implications for the Kinesiologist. Body mechanic problems, orthopaedic disabilities, neurologica} disabilities, psychologic disorders, heart disturbances and nutritional problems are discussed in depth.
Prerequisite: Kinesiology 200* 2 lectures, 2 hours lab., Winter term
KIN 452Sport in Society (Recreation 303* Sociology
374*)
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
KIN 453The Psychology of Sport and Physical Activity
This course focuses on the effects of participating in physical activity programmes upon the socio-psychological adjustment of the individual. Although attempts are made to show how common sports and physical activity situations generally influence development and adjustments, emphasis is given to the uniqueness of the individual personality and how a person reacts to different situations.
An examination of current major issues and trends in Kinesiology. Students select areas of major interest from a series of faculty introduced topics. Prerequisite: 4th year Kinesiology students
For the student who desires to pursue a particular topic in depth through guided independent research and/or reading. A faculty member must approve a student’s project prior to registration. May be repeated in subsequent terms.
Prerequisite: Consult with department Fall, Winter and Spring terms
