Mission
To develop and maintain educational and research centers of excellence pertaining to the study of physical activity.

activity with special emphasis on the relationships among physical activity, health, and well-being. This approach incorporates biophysical, behavioral, and professional practice perspectives.

• Research: we conduct state-of-the-art research in integrative Kinesiology and train doctoral students to become highly competent investigators capable of performing and eventually directing competitive research programs in integrative Kinesiology.

• Application: we apply research and scholarly pursuits for professional and community benefits.
