Human Kinetics

Department of Human Biology and Nutritional Sciences, College of Biological Science.

Coordinator: Dr. J.K. Barclay, Powell Rm. 107.

Human Kinetics is the study of biology and is concerned with understanding capacities for, and limits of, human movement in a variety of laboratory and real life-settings.

Admission to this specialization in semester 3 normally requires completion of the 8 required courses in semester 1 and 2 and a 70% average in the best 6 courses of the 8 required courses in semester 1 and 2. Admission to the specialization beyond semester 3 requires 2 consecutive semesters with better than 70% average. Students declaring this specialization require the signature of the coordinator. Students are advised that normally these and OAC biology, chemistry and physics requirements must be completed prior to admission.

If lacking the fundamentals of word processing, spread sheet use and data management, the student should elect 27-120 as early in the program as possible.

Sports Injury Management

(This area of emphasis will not be offered during the 1996-97 calendar year.)

This is a collaborative effort between the Sheridan College of Applied Arts and Technology 3-year diploma program in Sports Injury Management and the University of Guelph B.Sc. Specialized Honours Human Kinetics program. Semester 2 B.Sc. students may be selected for joint admission and concurrent registration over the next 4-year period to the Human Kinetics specialization in this area of emphasis and the Sheridan College Sports Injury Management program. Upon successful completion, students will earn both a University of Guelph B.Sc. degree and a Sheridan College diploma. See the departmental advisor for details.
