Havergal's Uncalendar, 2021-22 Academic Year

PSK4U – Introductory Kinesiology, Grade 12, University Preparation 1 CREDIT If you are interested in human movement, or are considering a career in medicine, physiotherapy or human biology, this course is for you. Members of the HOSA Club will understand the career pathways this course can lead to. From a 2020 grad: “I highly recommend Kin to anyone who wants to go into the health field, especially medicine! It truly helps a lot!” Kinesiology is the study of human movement. At the beginning of this course, you will learn all of the bones and muscles in the human body. You will spend time talking about the skeletal system and muscular system and then we will start to look at human performance from the eye of a kinesiologist, including sport injuries, training principles and the physics of movement. You will study and discuss physiology—how the athlete’s body produces and uses energy. In the nutrition and training principles units, you will create a nutrition plan for an athlete client in a sport that interests you and will also create a personalized training plan for a classmate with a particular goal. Student presentations allow you to share something you have learned about issues in Canadian sports and physical activity. The work is fun to do and you will make lots of meaningful and personal connections with the course content. Prerequisite: Any Grade 11 University or University/College Preparation course in Science or any Grade 11 or 12 open course in Health and Physical Education
