<P> The word comes from the Greek κίνησις kínēsis, "movement" (itself from κινεῖν kineîn, "to move"), and - λογία - logia, "study". </P> <P> Kinesiology is the study of human and nonhuman animal - body movements, performance, and function by applying the sciences of biomechanics, anatomy, physiology, psychology, and neuroscience . Applications of kinesiology in human - health include physical education teacher, rehabilitation, health and safety, health promotion, workplaces, sport and exercise industries . A bachelor's degree in kinesiology can provide strong preparation for graduate study in biomedical research, as well as in professional programs, such as medicine . </P> <P> Whereas the term "kinesiologist" is neither a licensed nor professional designation in the United States nor most countries (with the exception of Canada), individuals with training in this area can teach physical education, provide consulting services, conduct research and develop policies related to rehabilitation, human motor performance, ergonomics, and occupational health and safety . In North America, kinesiologists may study to earn a Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, or Doctorate of Philosophy degree in Kinesiology or a Bachelor of Kinesiology degree, while in Australia or New Zealand, they are often conferred an Applied Science (Human Movement) degree (or higher). Many doctoral level faculty in North American kinesiology programs received their doctoral training in related disciplines, such as neuroscience, mechanical engineering, psychology, and physiology . </P> <P> The world's first kinesiology department was launched in 1967 at the University of Waterloo, Canada . </P>
