Welcome To The Faculty of Kinesiology. Kinesiology is the study of human movement, but our faculty entails so much more. We study human performance; fight chronic disease; research healthy aging; train physical education teachers, educate coaches, and much, much more. Our mandate is to lead the way to active, healthy living, and we do this through education, research and our Active Living programs and activities. We also lead by example, with inspiring Dinos athletics.
