Kinesiology is the science of human movement, which applies the latest evidenced-based research to improve function, health, and wellness of people in all settings and populations. As university-trained health professionals, kinesiologists work with individuals, groups, families, caregivers, and healthcare providers to apply the principles of biomechanics, anatomy, physiology, and psychomotor behaviour to improve health, function, and performance. According to the Ontario Kinesiology Association, kinesiologists are committed to enhancing quality of life through the promotion of physical activity and workplace health and safety, the prevention and management of injury and chronic disease, and the overall improvement of health and performance.
