Why Kinesiology?
Should have an adequate knowledge and understanding of all large muscle groups to teach others how to strengthen, improve, and maintain optimal function of the human body
______________________________________________________
Through kinesiology and analysis of skills, physical educators can understand and improve specific aspects of physical conditioning
Understanding aspects of exercise physiology is also essential to coaches and physical educators
