课程简介
Ohio State's masters program in kinesiology is designed to enhance and broaden your knowledge and clinical skills the field of Health and Exercise Science. Potential applications of this knowledge include: education designed to enhance physical activity and health behavior, with instruction being conducted in hospitals, fitness and wellness centers, clinics, community health agencies, and various work sites, the appropriate use of physical activity in the prevention and treatment of chronic disease, and the improvement of sport and exercise performance for recreational and elite athletes. As a student, you will specialize your studies in exercise physiology or health and physical activity behavior.<br><br>Exercise Physiology - Prepares you to understand and critically analyze the current literature, to develop research hypotheses, design hypothesis-based experimental research, apply sound measurement techniques, and utilize appropriate statistical analyses related to the physiology of exercise and performance. You should have a strong interest in research related to development and delivery of exercise programs, and perhaps advanced research training in a PhD program.<br><br>Health and Physical Activity Behavior - Prepares you to apply principles of behavioral science to identify determinants of physical activity adoption and maintenance in a variety of populations and settings. You will gain the skills necessary to design, implement, and evaluate programs to promote health and physical activity behavior change. You also will develop skill in the application of behavioral science to answer questions related to exercise adoption and maintenance. By the completion of the program, you will be prepared to pursue advanced research training in a PhD program.
