The Ph.D. in Kinesiology Sciences is a practical application research-intensive program designed to equip graduate students with further skills in critical thinking, data collection, and scientific communication while being mentored by 成人VR视频 kinesiology experts. Graduates of this program have gone onto careers in academia, industry, and institutional settings involving the scientific or social science aspects of kinesiology, sports, exercise, and physical health. Students may specialize in such areas as adapted physical activity, biomechanics and neuroscience, exercise physiology, social aspects of sport/health/physical education, or sports/exercise psychology and will be immersed in a lab/team research environment.

- Adapted Physical Activity:听Focus on an interdisciplinary understanding and the promotion of physical activity participation among people with disabilities, including developmental, emotional, intellectual, and/or physical. Studies will center on motivation, self-determination, coaching, participation, and/or social inclusion of people with disabilities within sport/physical activity contexts.
- Biomechanics and Neuroscience:听Engage in research to better understand human structure and function interactions between biology, mechanics, and/or the nervous system, exploring various health conditions within different population groups and in a variety of settings.
- Exercise Physiology:听Explore the effects of exercise and physical activity on functional, health, and performance outcomes in healthy, clinical, and athletic populations.听Areas of interest may include听aging cardiovascular and respiratory (patho)physiology, nutrition and exercise metabolism, musculoskeletal health, prevention and management of chronic disease, and rehabilitative exercise training.
- Social Aspects of Sport, Health, & Physical Education:听Research sport and physical activity in diverse community contexts, delving into how social, cultural, and historical patterns听may affect how sport, physical activity, and physical education can help to foster (or strain) the health and wellbeing of young people.
- Sports and Exercise Psychology:听Study how psychological and social factors influence an individual鈥檚 behavioural outcomes in sport and exercise performance and motivation and how participation in sport and exercise influences psychological and social development, health, and well-being. Students may opt for a sport psychology emphasis (e.g. coaching,, anxiety, aggression, gender issues) or an exercise psychology emphasis (e.g. social influences/support, interventions, self-esteem, body image, quality of life, special populations).
