ANSWER!
What are the common knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) acquired with an
undergraduate kinesiology degree? - Answer: KSAs include understanding physical
activity's role in health, scientific foundations of physical activity, cultural dimensions,
and practical applications of physical activity.
How is physical activity related to health, wellness, and quality of life? - Answer:
Physical activity promotes health and wellness, reduces the risk of chronic diseases,
and enhances overall quality of life.
Why is it important to integrate academic training in kinesiology with its subdisciplines? -
Answer: Integration optimizes evidence-based learning and enhances problem-solving
skills relevant to physical activity and health.
What are the basic KSAs that kinesiology students must exhibit? - Answer: Students
must describe how physical activity promotes health, develop effective programs, and
assess their impact across the lifespan.
What are the primary goals for kinesiology students? - Answer: Goals include
mastering the knowledge base, translating it into communication and intervention
programs, and evaluating their effectiveness.
What factors enhance the integration of kinesiology subdisciplines? - Answer:
Integration enhances knowledge of influences on physical activity success, improves
problem-solving skills, and informs effective program design.
What are the psychomotor factors that may affect a runner's performance? - Answer:
Factors include motivation, fatigue, attention, and training status.

, What physiological factors influence a runner's performance? - Answer: Factors include
training level, cardiac output, and oxygen consumption.
What are the consequences of physical inactivity? - Answer: Inactivity is the fourth
leading cause of death and can lead to cardiovascular issues, musculoskeletal
problems, and mental health challenges.
What is functional health? - Answer: Functional health is the ability to maintain wellness
and independence by managing health problems and maintaining physical abilities.
What are functional abilities in the context of kinesiology? - Answer: Functional abilities
include physical movement for transportation, activities of daily living (ADLs), and
instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs).
How does exercise function as medicine? - Answer: Exercise is prescribed as a
therapeutic agent, with the effectiveness depending on the dose and individual
responses.
What is the dose-response relationship in physical activity? - Answer: Evidence
suggests a dose-response relationship, indicating that increased physical activity
correlates with better health outcomes.
What scientific foundations are emphasized in undergraduate kinesiology programs? -
Answer: Key courses include exercise physiology, biomechanics, motor learning, sports
medicine, and psychology of physical activity.
What is the significance of knowledge integration in kinesiology? - Answer: Integration
combines knowledge from various subdisciplines to enhance evidence-based learning
and problem-solving skills.
