QUESTIONS AND ACCURATE ANSWERS
PREPARATION RESOURCE
●● Kinematics
Answer: study of motion without regard of the forces that either produce
or resist movement

Answer: Because it FITS
Focus of study
Intuitively appropriate
Treats all approaches equally
Sounds right
●● What does kinesiology address?
Answer: -Personal/Public/Environmental Health

Answer: Reference point to identify parts of the body
1. Upright: Standing with the head and torso upright
2. Arms at sides: With the shoulders in neutral rotation, elbows
extended, and palms facing forward
