Question

. What forms or categories of physical activity are studied in kinesiology? Which receive the most attention, and how do they relate to each other?

Answer 1

Kinesiology is field of science that studies the body movements during physical activity. It studies how a movement takes place while performing a physicsl activity.
The various categories of kinesiology to study a physical movement involves mechanism of movement, joints and muscles used during movement, neural control of the movement, type of muscle contraction and external and internal forces scting on body to carry out a particular physical activity.
The most important aspect in kinesiology is studying the activity of brain during physical activity that stimulates muscles and joints to perform a physical task. The activity of brain is the main control centre for any movement. When a body needs to perform an activity sensory signals are send to brain. The brain processes the sensory signals and integrates it with visual and spatial information. The brain then generates a command that is travelled upto the skeletal muscles and joints in the form electrical impulse and results in movement generation. The tone, speed and force of movement, posture and equilibrium are also controlled by tge brain. Thus the brain activity is interrelated to every aspect of kinesiology.
