What does human movement tell us about the whole person made in the image of God?
Optimize health and performance and prevent injury and illness by understanding human movement in all its complexities and applications. Redeemer's Kinesiology program is broad in scope, with opportunities to learn about movement from the perspectives of physiology, anatomy, psychology, sociology, biomechanics, lifestyle and behaviour, and ultimately provides further appreciation to how all humans are fearfully and wonderfully made.
Kinesiology is offered as a Bachelor of Kinesiology degree program, and as an honours major and minor in the Bachelor of Science degree program.
