Human Kinetics

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

Coordinator: Dr. B.A. Wilson, ANNU 336B

Human Kinetics is concerned with understanding capacities for, and limits of, human movement at different ages and with the role of physical activity in human health. Through the use of electives, students may structure a program emphasizing biomechanics and ergonomics, human population biology or nutrition, exercise and metabolism.

Admission to this major in semester 3 normally requires a minimum semester average of 70% in the previous 2 full-time semesters. Students declaring this major require the signature of the coordinator.

If lacking the fundamentals of word processing, spread sheet use and data management, the student should elect CIS*1200 as early in the program as possible.

Restricted Electives

Students must complete 2.00 credits from Arts or Social Science courses. It is recommended that 0.50 of the 2.00 credits in Arts or Social Science be in philosophy. A minimum of 2.00 from Human Biology (i.e. HK-4XXX) restricted electives is required. 1.50 are to be chosen from acceptable science courses.

Areas of Emphasis

Students choosing Sports Injury Management must follow the schedule of studies for the area of emphasis.

Sports Injury Management

Contact: Dr. B.A. Wilson, ext. 2297.

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. Human Kinetics major program. Semester 2 B.Sc. students may be selected for admission and concurrent registration over the next four year period to the Human Kinetics major in this area of emphasis and the Sheridan College of Sports Injury Management program. Semester 4 students may be selected for admission into this area of emphasis if space is available. Since space in this area of emphasis is limited, admission is competitive and is based on academic achievement and an interview process. Students will enrol in courses at Guelph for semesters 1 to 6 and at Sheridan for semesters 7 to 10. Upon successful completion, students will earn both a University of Guelph B.Sc. degree and a Sheridan College diploma.

A total of 28.25 credits is required.
