KIN 104 - Individual Movement Pursuit Foundations

3 units (fi 6)(VAR, 0-3L-0)

Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation

This course places the study of physical activity and fundamentals of human movement at the level of the individual. Intertwined with the ways in which the individual life is organized, environmentally influenced, and personally experienced, the course will experientially explore the pragmatics and implementation of theories of adaptation, accessibility, and inclusion for the development of individual fundamental movement skill and movement pursuit. Students will be introduced to critical reflection and engagement with course concepts and provided movement experiences to develop assessment and intervention strategies in responding to how the historical and contemporary social issues of kinesiology (e.g., ableism, racism, sexism, classism, power relations, privilege, injustice, processes of normalization, colonialism) affect development of movement fundamentals and participation in physical culture.
