The Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education values and promotes the study of human movement from a multidisciplinary perspective.

The B.Sc. (KNES) or Exercise Science programs offer students the opportunity to investigate the anatomical, biomechanical, neurological and physiological characteristics that underlie human movement across the spectrum from basic tasks, such as reaching and walking, to elite sport performance.
