The text covers the historical development of the field, discusses career opportunities, and provides the groundwork for future coursework. It articulates the limit and scope of kinesiology by defining core knowledge and emphasizing the cross-disciplinary nature of the discipline.
Opening chapters discuss the focus of kinesiology, physical activity in different civilizations and cultures throughout history, and several physiological systems of the human body. Additional chapters provide information on energy utilization during movement and exercise, cardiovascular and ventilatory changes with exercise, types of human motions, the neuromuscular system, models of motor control, and major components within the subfield of sport and exercise psychology. Closing chapters cover the foundations of development and the relevance of sociological and cultural factors to kinesiology, and provides a rationale for an integrative approach to research and teaching in the field.
Introduction to Kinesiology is a comprehensive textbook that is an exemplary resource for courses and programs in kinesiology.
The Second Edition will be published Spring 2023.
