A little note that is meant heavy questioning from me recently. I've just finished my BA in Kinesiology and I see big obstacles for the sake of my profession too distant future. First, it should be noted that in Quebec there is no professional body regulating the profession of kinesiology. What brings people of different profiles to self-proclaim coach and mentor and the people (general population or specific) in the area of physical preparation. Unfortunately, these people can have good intentions but do not necessarily possess the skills and knowledge required to follow these customers. Some people have extensive experience as participants and often reproduce what they have lived with the people they govern, without really wonder about the merits and appropriateness of their practices.
Why so much concern? Because I think in our society today and in the field of coaching, we look the gym with the latest technology, the latest trend in in training which may prove in the long term, being not at all effective. Also because I see how easy it is to improvise coach in several senses. Often, just to have lived , money, a network of contact and / or interest to the field and you start to train people, set up camps to speed development, etc.. To whom it benefits this? Can not be the right person.
When you contact a trained kinesiologist in a Canadian university, it formed in the following areas:
- Kinesiology Physical Education and Health
- Physiology in Health and Physical Education
- Biomechanics human health and physical education
- development and physical growth
- Assessment of physical fitness and habits Life
- Intervention in kinesiology and symptomatic populations
- Food, Fitness and Health
- physiological, psychological motor behavior
- Intervention fitness
- Principles, methods and research tools in kinesiology
- Case Studies Kinesiology
- muscles: functional assessment and postural abnormalities
- planning methods and personal training and sports
- internship placements and more than 600 hours.
Kinesiology such as we know it in North America is therefore appealing to several areas related to physical activity and sport, such as natural sciences (biology, physics, etc.). And science and Humanities (psychology, sociology, etc.). The experience of kinesiology is derived as much from the scientific literature of his field experience and ability to analyze events that occur to him.
Anyway, I hope that efforts are continuing in achieving our professional so that we can protect our profession. My goal in this post is to simply bring you to ask you about the qualifications of the people you lead or lead your child. Where does this person? What qualifications and / or certifications in the field has she? What is she like training? This person will know she adequately supervise my child to the best of his knowledge and skills? After asking yourself these questions, I fervently hope that you will choose a competent kinesiologist to look after you.
