Studies the science of human movement in the context of muscle actions and the application of forces through levers of the musculoskeletal system. Analyzes fundamental human movement patterns, such as gait.

This lab is intended to provide students with hands on experience to learn human anatomy. The lab primarily involves work with human specimen prosections and will cover only gross anatomy of the muscular, skeletal, and nervous systems. .

A presentation, through lectures and laboratory experiences, of laboratory procedures and biomedical instrumentation pertinent to exercise physiology laboratories and applied physiology research. Students are involved in a review of current research in each area of laboratory experimentation and participate as both subjects and investigators. Prerequisite: KINE 5430

Analyzes metabolic adaptations to acute bouts of exercise and chronic exercise training. Includes energy sources for human movement; substrate utilization, muscle plasticity, functional significance of the metabolic adaptations to chronic exercise training; muscle fatigue and damage. Prerequisite: KINE 5430 or instructor permission.

A systematic approach to human anatomy with emphasis on the interdependence of structure and function in the skeletal, articular, muscular, nervous, cardiovascular and digestive systems. A laboratory experience is included.

This course provides the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to assess participants readiness and fitness level for exercise participation, design and instruct safe, effective exercise prescriptions for clients of varying skill and fitness levels.

This course will focus on the social and psychological factors related to participation in sport and physical activity over the life span. Personal factors that influence sport & exercise behavior (e.g., personality, self-perceptions, age, gender, race), situational factors (e.g., observational learning, motivational climate, socioeconomic level), and psychological methods for enhancing sport and exercise behavior will be reviewed.

Topical offerings in the subject of Kinesiology

For undergraduate students interested in the clinical aspect of sports medicine. Students are scheduled for clinic times each week for the duration of the semester, but also must attend in-services (typically held from 7-8 am on Tuesdays). Students provide first aid & rehabilitation for varsity student athletes and UVa Athletics events. Instructor permission and apply online: https://virginiasports.com/undergraduate-volunteer/

For upper-level undergraduates interested in physical therapy or related professions. Students are scheduled for weekly clinic times and also must attend in-services each week. Under the supervision of licensed clinicians, students work with clients in medical fitness programs at the University's Student Health Center and/or at the Fried Center for the Advancement of Potential. Instructor permission required as enrollment is limited.
