What does a kinesiologist do?

Asked by Wiki User

A kinesiologist is someone who specializes in the study of human movement. The field of kinesiology is sometimes known as biomechanics, referencing the idea that it has a heavy focus on looking at the mechanical aspects of human movement, such as the musculoskeletal system and the way in which it works. This field views the body as an interconnected system, and examines the ways in which people move to see how people injure themselves, develop strong bodies, and engage in dance, play, and other types of movement.

Salary, earning potential, and marketability are not only determined by the type of field you are in and the degree you possess. It depends on your position within that field, the institution you work for, your experience, expertise, personal abilities, critical thinking skills, problem solving abilities, dedication and commitment toward ones work, and more. Thus, salary is not so much dependent on the type of degree as much as it is dependent on the person who holds the degree. Still, if you have a specific occupational title, you can then retrieve the estimated mean annual wage particular to that occupation.

not much graduated last spring and went back to work as a bank teller, I've never heard of anything being done with it though. Basically exercise trainer or athletic director... not really sure but I'm continuing on into another program which required a B.S. in science as a prerequisite. I'm going to use the anatomy knowledge I had drilled into my head over and over and over to become a diagnostic medical sonographer, AKA Ultarsound.

What is the difference between Kinesiology and Physical Therapy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Kinesiology, derived from the Greek words kinesis (movement) and kinein (to move), also known as human kinetics, is the science of human movement. It is a discipline that focuses on Physical Activity.

Applied Physiology means using the knowledge of Physiology ( The Study of interactions in the nature [i.e. environment inside and outside the body] with respect to their effect on human life) in day to day life. Applied Physiology teaches us what to eat, how much to eat, when to eat and how to eat also. Applied Physiology teaches about how much to sleep, when to sleep, when to defecate, when and how to urinate and so on. Applied Physiology instructs us about what clothes to wear and how they influence our life. Applied Physiology teaches which exercise, how much exercise and when and how to take and its benefits or side effects on body and mind. Applied Physiology tells us about how much water to drink and the effects of cold and warm water! It also tells us about effects of cold bath, warm bath, sponging jakuzee etc. Applied Physiology teaches us about yoga principles and their judicious use tobenefit us. Applied Physiology tells us about Sun Light its effects in general and benefits with respect to our health. Applied Physiology also guides us about the effects of space, climate, temperature, pressure, winds, humidity, aging, other conditions such pregnancy and the care to be taken for better health. Applied Physiology also informs about the effects of fragrance, colors, music, dance, masssage and so on on life. This perspective is extemely important to avoid getting carried away by the misconception "Applied is synonymous with Clinical". Clinical Physiology is small aspect of Applied Physiology. In Clinical Physiology also there is application of the knowledge of Physiology in diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutics. Applied Physiology can help us prevent diseases through the knowledge of immunity.The Applied Physiology seeks to know the effects of soil status, chemical and organic fertilizers, pesticide and such factors on crop and its effects on the human life. Applied Physiology guides about the effects of various types of "human -human", "human - animal" and "human - plant" interactions so that we can imporve upon socialization, pets and home gardening also. The question is; do we have objective state of mind to study Physiology and apply it? Applied Physiology is nothing else but Physiology studied with objective frame ofmind and applying this knowledge in every sphere so as to blossom the individual and universal life! You can refer the text books of Physiology and Applied Physiology on the basis of this understanding of Physiology and Applied Physiology. One of the excellant examples of Appled Physiology is "Understanding and Management of Stress"!

Asked by Wiki User

I got mine at Husson University and I graduated with 123 credits in the spring of 2011. But I'm not sure if that's about the normal or not, because at Husson the degree is not offered as a major, you had to be accepted into the DPT (Doctorate of Physical Therapy) program and maintain their requirements through the four years, or however many the program may be.
