Specifically, the developed curriculum is detailed and reflection given on the pragmatic, inquiry-based approach used todevelop a course curriculum intended to integrate various kinesiology sub-disciplines. The article explores the combined use of severalframeworks to promote meta-cognition and peer-collaboration as students meet the learning outcomes of creating their ownevidence-based, intradisciplinary process to analyze movement.展开更多

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the perceptions of current health delivery agents to the regulation of kinesiology. An 18-item survey was used to collect data, and a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) framework was used for analysis. The data indicated that kinesiology provides a unique expertise adding to client and patient care and is a needed partner within the multidisciplinary health environment. Similarly, despite the need for the profession to clearly define, delineate, and promote its scope of practice to professionals and to the public, there are increased opportunities that exist within the health care sector, particularly in chronic disease prevention. The addition of kinesiology as a regulated health profession was not considered to be a threat by existing key stakeholders.展开更多
