About Kinesiology and Physical Education
About Kinesiology and Physical Education
The Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education provides a large variety of research opportunities in a number of areas related to human health and physical activity.
Master's Programs
In Exercise Physiology, research is being conducted on:
- obesity treatment, public health surveillance, and health disparities;
- biology and physiology of aging skeletal muscle;
- adaptive plasticity of skeletal muscle in health, disease, and aging;
- the role of mitochondria in skeletal muscle health, disease, and aging;
- interventions to protect and/or restore mass and function of aging muscle;
- biology and physiology of the aging heart;
- clinical and integrative exercise and cardio-respiratory physiology;
- COPD research;
- muscle physiology and biophysics.
Other research in Biomechanics includes specialization in:
- ergonomics, motor control, fatigue, and musculoskeletal disorders;
- locomotion and gait research;
- applied ice hockey research;
- neurophysiology and rehabilitation.
In Exercise and Health Psychology, research is presently underway examining:
- the psychosocial determinants of health behaviour, body-related emotions, and physical self;
- motivation in youth sport and physical activity;
- school and community-based physical activity promotion;
- physical education and health development.
In Sports Psychology, research questions examine determinants of:
Research in Adapted Physical Activity examines issues of:
- self-regulation of individuals with movement difficulties;
- physical activity in persons with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD);
- play and movement skill proficiency;
- perceptions and professional skill development of physical education teachers;
- motor behaviour;
- autism.

The thesis programs in Kinesiology and Physical Education are designed to help students develop research skills and expertise in their selected areas of research. All students must have a physical science background to study in the M.Sc. program and a social-psychological background to study in the M.A. program. Researchers in our program have their own research facilities. These research programs often lead to pursuits in research and teaching careers, or in professional careers in kinesiology. For example, many students pursue careers in fitness/wellness, exercise rehabilitation settings, and sport science settings. Students may become teachers, health club directors, work in cardiac rehabilitation centres, and/or become exercise prescription counsellors. |

The non-thesis programs are currently not offered. The non-thesis programs in Kinesiology and Physical Education are intended to help students develop professional skills related to their careers in kinesiology and physical education who do not have an interest in research. Students will work with a supervisor and will take a number of courses in the academic areas of interest and will also complete a research project in the area of interest. |
