Kinesiology and Human Performance involves the scientific study of acute physiological, biomechanical, and nutritional responses and chronic adaptations to a wide range of exercise conditions. Exercise scientists like exercise physiologists, biomechanists, nutritionists use exercise as a non-invasive means to investigate changes in physiologic systems, organs, tissues, cells, organelles and molecules. In addition, exercise scientists with a clinical interest study the effect of exercise on pathology and the mechanisms by which exercise can reduce or reverse disease progression. Moreover, exercise scientists discover health and fitness benefits from different doses and types of physical activity, exercise and diet.
