CHAPTER 1 : (kinesiology) Introduction to Exercise Science

3.0 The Sciences of Exercise Science

Behavioral knowledge base;

1. Motor behavior 2. Exercise and sport psychology

Social science knowledge base

1. Sport sociology 2. Sport history

Health & fitness knowledge base;

1. Clinical exercise physiology 2. Physical activity

Physiological knowledge base;

1. Exercise physiology 2. Sport nutrition

Sport medicine & kinesiological knowledge base:

1. Athletic training 2. Sport biomechanics 3. Clinical biomechanics

Exercise science study movement * clinical biomechanics and sports biomechanics

Subdisciplines overlap * exercise physiology expanded to different areas – sports nutrition

All human movement

Many branches of science can be applied to exercise - biology, chemistry physics and psychology

Biology and chemistry

exercise physiology

Physics

expanding the mechanics of movement – biomechanics.

Psychology

development of motor behavior and exercise and sports psychology

Exercise science

refers to the application of science to the phenomenon of exercise

1.0 WHAT IS EXERCISE SCIENCE?

Parent Disciplines

Attempts to describe, study and expand its body of knowledge.

For example: biology, chemistry, physics and psychology, physiology, mathematics, engineering

Definition

The scientific study of human movement performed to maintain or improve physical fitness.

4.0 Conclusion

Exercise science continues to meet needs of coaches, trainers, and teachers through applied research and development.

2.0 Subdisciplines of Exercise Science

Subdisciplines

the science components of exercise science within which the body of knowledge is describes, studied and expanded.

1. Exercise physiology and Biochemistry 2. Biomechanics 3. Motor Learning and Control 4. Sports Medicine 5. Exercise and Sport Psychology
