Welcome to the fifth edition of Introduction to Kinesiology. Let us introduce you to the goals, updates, and features of this new edition of an outstanding text. Along with the usual updating of content, this revision includes a blend of previous and new contributors, editors, and features. The result is a streamlined yet comprehensive introduction to the exciting and diverse discipline of kinesiology.
The primary goals of Introduction to Kinesiology are to give students a comprehensive overview of the discipline and to inspire them to pursue a major professional career related to it. In order to accurately summarize the diverse and growing discipline of kinesiology, we use a unique model that addresses both the sources of knowledge and the primary subdisciplinary fields of this area of study. The last six chapters highlight characteristics of professionals and several professional careers open to kinesiology graduates. We hope this book inspires you to continuously study physical activity and join us in promoting physical activity for the benefit of all people.
This fifth edition retains the three-part structure addressing the sources of kinesiology knowledge, the primary subdisciplines of kinesiology, and the major career areas for kinesiology graduates. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the book, offers key definitions, and presents the model on which the text is organized. Part I has two chapters that introduce seven spheres of physical activity experiences and explore the importance of such experience for participation in and knowledge of physical activity.
Part II reviews seven of the most common subdisciplines of kinesiology: philosophy, history, sociology, motor behavior, psychology, biomechanics, and physiology. Each chapter gives a brief overview of major historical events in the development of the subdiscipline; the research methods used in the subdiscipline; what professionals such as biomechanists, exercise physiologists, and others do in the course of their professional work; and how students current knowledge can form a foundation for more advanced study. Each of these chapters also presents practical, real-world applications from the relevant subdiscipline and is organized to help readers understand why the subdiscipline is important and how it may relate to a variety of professional endeavors.
Part III presents characteristics of professionals, followed by a look at professional opportunities in five major career areas or clusters: health and fitness, therapeutic exercise, physical education, coaching and sport instruction, and sport management.
