📖Program Curriculum
Dalhousie University offers a Master's degree program in Kinesiology. Here is a generalized example of a potential curriculum for the Master of Kinesiology (MKin) program at Dalhousie University:
Core Courses:
Advanced Topics in Kinesiology
Research Methods in Kinesiology
Biomechanics
Exercise Physiology
Motor Control and Learning
Specialization Courses:
Elective Courses (related to specific areas within Kinesiology)
Research Project or Thesis:
Independent Research Project or Thesis
The curriculum is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of advanced topics in kinesiology, research methods, biomechanics, exercise physiology, and motor control and learning. The core courses cover essential topics in kinesiology, including advanced topics that explore emerging areas and current research in the field, research methods in kinesiology to equip students with skills in designing and conducting research studies, biomechanics (the study of movement and mechanics of the human body), exercise physiology (the physiological responses and adaptations to exercise), and motor control and learning (the mechanisms and processes underlying movement control and skill acquisition).
Students have the opportunity to specialize in specific areas within kinesiology through elective courses. These courses can be chosen based on the student's interests and career goals and may cover topics such as sport psychology, exercise and aging, clinical kinesiology, sport performance, physical activity and health promotion, or specific populations such as athletes, children, or individuals with disabilities.
