Kinesiology

Kinesiology is the scientific study of human body movement, addressing physiological, biomechanical, and psychological dynamic principles and mechanisms of movement. Coursera's kinesiology catalogue teaches you about the intricate workings of the human body in motion. You'll learn about the mechanics of body movement, the role of different muscle groups, the impact of exercise on the body, and the principles of injury prevention and rehabilitation. This knowledge can be applied in various fields such as sports science, physiotherapy, and personal training. You'll also gain insights into the psychological aspects of human movement, enhancing your understanding of how mental states can influence physical performance.
