Kinesiology
Kinesiology is the study of physical activity and human movement. Many students in
this field pursue
careers in teaching, coaching, and health professions such as occupational
and physical therapy, cardiac rehabilitation, nursing, and sports medicine.
They work in schools, recreational settings, and sports-related businesses. Demand is increasing steadily for
professionals with kinesiology backgrounds, especially as sports activities
and sport-oriented industries continue to expand.
