The subject of Kinesiology is not only fascinating and awesome, but it is also a rough spot for many people studying to become trainers or therapists. This is mostly due to the unfortunate, and almost universal way the subject is taught. Students in massage therapy and athletic training classes everywhere struggle with the rapid flood of information and reliance on strict memorization (called "rote" learning.)
In this course, Professor Menz introduces Kinesiology with an entirely different approach. He employs basic principles of language, motion and simple scientific foundations to show the logical, elegant
nature of human movement.
The course includes study activities and a self-quiz with answers so students can reinforce their skills and check their progress. The course was forged in the class rooms of several universities and
numerous workshops around the country. Every student who needs to master Kinesiology, whether in a college or career school programs, will marvel at this clear, enjoyable method of unlocking such a crucial topic.
This not a Continuing Education course.
In this segment we'll examine and grasp the basic physical and mechanical
principles which govern how we humans create movement. Mastery of these
concepts will greatly assist your studies of the specific body movements.
Note: This course is for Test Prep and to help students better understand
the principles of Kinesiology.
A separate edition of this class is available for Continuing Education.
