- > Philosophy
- > Biomechanics
- > Exercise psychology
- > History
- > Exercise Physiology
- > Management
- > Motor Control
- > Sociology
Which branches of science make up kinesiology
- > Behavioural science
- > Social science
- > Physical science
What are the holistic perspectives of kinesiology?
Age Perspective - > Infancy vs. Elderly quality of life Quantitive Perspective - > Individual cell vs group of individuals (cell to society) Performance perspective - > High performance athletes vs leisure
What are the types of knowledge used within kinesiology? (Hoffmans wheel)
- > Experiential knowledge (phys. activity experience)
- > Theoretical knowledge (Scholarly study of PA)
- > Professional practice knowledge
Experiencing physical activity
- > direct participation in physical activity
Scholarly study of physical activity
- > involves examining physical activity through research and logical, systematic analysis
What are the sub-disciplines of the scholarly study of physical activity
- > Physiology of PA
- > Biomechanics
- > Sport and Exercise Psychology
- > Motorbehavior
- > Philosophy of PA
- > History of PA
- > Sociology of PA
What are the sub-disciplines of experiencing physical activity
- > Self-Expression
- > self-sufficiency
- > Work
- > Education
- > Leisure
- > Health
- > Competition
Explain Professional practice in physical activity
knowledge gained through professional practices re-incorporated into learning more about human movement and all its complexities
What are the sub-disciplines of professional practice centred around Physical Activity
- > Sport management
- > health and fitness
- > therapeutic exercise
- > teaching physical education
- > coaching and sport education
Factors that influence being/not being physically active
Personal Circumstances
- > Body image
- > injury
- > geography Social Environment
- > culture
- > *influence of others* Quality vs Quality
Explain the “work” sub discipline of experiencing physical activity
- > PA can be an important aspect of our work
- > technology continues to shape work, causing the amount of physical activity required on the job to decrease; associated with health risks
- > Physical activity professionals contribute to work performance
Explain the “education” sub discipline of experiencing physical activity
- > PA is intergral to all forms and levels of education (ie.writing, PE, employment training)
* Instruction in sport and exercise
- > once limited; now available everywhere
Explain the “Leisure” sub discipline of experiencing physical activity
- > leisure is a state of mind; all is good in the world
- > leisure and free time aren’t interchangable
TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF LEISURE
- > Active vs Passive leisure
Explain the “health” sub discipline of experiencing physical activity
- > Health benefits of PA
- > potential detriments of PA (i.e overuse, injury)
- > psychological and physiological effects of exercise
Explain the “Competition” sub discipline of experiencing physical activity
- > usually accociated with sport
- > can be positive/ negative
- > many different natures of competition (face-to-face, contact)
- > requires an element of cooperation to hold the game together
Explain the “Self-Sufficency” sub discipline of experiencing physical activity
- > We need to constantly be physically active so that we can preform the physical activities requred for day-to-day life (i.e. brush teeth, bathing ourselfs)
- > activities for daily living (ADLs)
- > instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) (less personal activities; shopping, cooking, laundry)
- > how we limit our ablility to perform ADLs and IADLs with age
- > home maintenance activities (more complicating and demanding than ADLs and IADLs i.e shovelling snow or repairs)
Explain the “Self- Expression” sub discipline of experiencing physical activity
- > intentional movement tha communicates information to others
- >cultural differences in gestures i.e. dance, writing
Active vs Passive leisure
ACTIVE LEISURE
- > Social, cognitive (hobbies) and physical leisure make up active leisure
PASSIVE LEISURE
- > Passive leisure is the time that people spend (often at home) in activities that are relaxing and that require little effort.
*Ideally, time spent in passive leisure should be balanced with time spent in active leisure activities *
