Projects range from the use of animal models to study disease states to the testing of novel intervention programs designed to change the health of whole communities. The common theme that binds us together is the study of physical activity and health. The Department of Kineisology offers programs of study leading to the Master of Science degree . Students usually choose of the three emphasis tracks. The first is the Physiological Basis of Physical Activity (e.g. exercise physioogy, pathophysiology). The second is Public Health Physical Activity Behavior (e.g. exercise psychology, physical activity epidemiology, physical activity promotion). Students completing this emphasis can seekcertificaation by the American College of SPorts Medicine (ACSM) as a Public Health Physical Activity Specialist. The third is Clinical Exercise Specialist. The emphasis in clinical Exercise Specialist encourages students to gain expertise in both physiological and behavioral issues related to physical activity promotion. Insome instances, students choose to design programs that integrate all areas of focus. Individual programs are determined by the major professor, the student's supervisory committee, and the student. View more details on Kansas State University .
