Introduction to Kinesiology: The Science of Human Physical Activity outlines the major concepts, principles, and experimental findings for the curious, yet serious student interested in the field of kinesiology. The interactive ebook format allows students to read the text of each chapter and engage with digital learning activities throughout-including assignments, image-based skill-builder activities, discussions, flashcards, quizzes, in-line skill-builder activities, and YouTube videos-all within a single system. The ebook covers the historical development of the field, discusses career opportunities, and provides the groundwork for future coursework. It articulates the limit and scope of kinesiology by defining core knowledge and emphasizing the cross-disciplinary nature of the discipline. Opening chapters discuss the focus of kinesiology, physical activity in different civilizations and cultures throughout history, and several physiological systems of the human body. Additional chapters provide information on energy utilization during movement and exercise, cardiovascular and ventilatory changes with exercise, types of human motions, the neuromuscular system, models of motor control, and major components within the subfield of sport and exercise psychology. Closing chapters cover the foundations of development and the relevance of sociological and cultural factors to kinesiology and provides a philosophical rationale for an integrative approach to research and teaching in the field. The second edition features the new interactive ebook format and refreshed or new facts, references, and images throughout the text. Introduction to Kinesiology is a comprehensive interactive ebook that is an exemplary resource for courses and programs in kinesiology.
