Study of human movement, including the mechanics, anatomy, and physiology involved in movement.

Anatomy: Study of the structure of the body and the relationship between its parts.
Physiology: Study of the functions and processes of the body.
Biomechanics: Study of the mechanics of movement and the forces that act on the body during movement.
Exercise Physiology: Study of the physiological and metabolic responses to exercise.
Motor Control: Study of how the nervous system controls movement.
Sport Psychology: Study of the psychological factors that affect performance, such as motivation, confidence, and anxiety.
Rehabilitation: Study of techniques used to restore normal function after injury or illness, such as physical therapy.
Orthopedics: Study of the musculoskeletal system and diseases and injuries that affect it.
Manual Therapy: Techniques used by physical therapists to manipulate joints, muscles, and soft tissues to help alleviate pain and improve range of motion.
Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation: Study of techniques used to improve cardiovascular and pulmonary function through exercise.
Geriatric Physical Therapy: Study of techniques used to improve function and mobility in older adults.
Pediatrics: Study of techniques used to improve function and mobility in children.
Neurological Rehabilitation: Study of techniques used to improve function and mobility in individuals with neurological conditions, such as stroke, spinal cord injury, and traumatic brain injury.
Biomechanical Analysis: Study of the movement patterns and mechanics of athletes and non-athletes to help identify problems and improve performance.
Kinesiology Research Methods: Study of the methods used to conduct research in kinesiology and physical therapy, such as experimental designs and statistical analysis.
Sports Kinesiology: Works with athletes and sports teams to improve athletic performance and prevent injuries.
Clinical Kinesiology: Focuses on restoring and maintaining optimal movement and function in individuals with musculoskeletal, neurological, or cardiopulmonary disorders.
Pediatric Kinesiology: Designed for children with special needs or developmental delays.
Cardiopulmonary Kinesiology: Specializes in rehabilitation for heart and lung conditions.
Geriatric Kinesiology: Designed for seniors to maintain or improve their strength, balance, and mobility.
Occupational Kinesiology: Evaluates and treats work-related injuries and disorders.
Manual Kinesiology: Uses hands-on techniques, such as massage or stretching, to improve movement and relieve pain.
Neurological Kinesiology: Focuses on restoring the motor function in individuals with conditions such as Parkinson's disease or strokes.
Orthopedic Kinesiology: Specializes in the treatment of sports injuries, joint replacements, and fractures.
Women's Health Kinesiology: Provides pelvic floor rehabilitation for women with conditions such as urinary incontinence or pelvic pain.
Global Postural Reeducation: A therapeutic method that aims to correct postural imbalances that cause musculoskeletal pain.
Psychomotor Kinesiology: Focuses on the relationship between mind and body for optimal health and wellbeing.
"Kinesiology is the scientific study of human body movement."
"Kinesiology addresses physiological, anatomical, biomechanical, pathological, neuropsychological principles and mechanisms of movement."
"Applications of kinesiology to human health include biomechanics and orthopedics; strength and conditioning; sport psychology; motor control; skill acquisition and motor learning; methods of rehabilitation, such as physical and occupational therapy; and sport and exercise physiology."
"Studies of human and animal motion include measures from motion tracking systems, electrophysiology of muscle and brain activity, various methods for monitoring physiological function, and other behavioral and cognitive research techniques."
"Kinesiology (from Ancient Greek κίνησις (kínēsis) 'movement', and -λογία -logía 'study of') is the scientific study of human body movement."
