What is Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology

The Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology builds on the basic sciences to link the study of movement, physiology and health with the broad scope of human endeavour.


Our faculty comprises anatomists, biochemists, biologists, biomechanists, biophysicists, engineers, ergonomists, kinesiologists, physicians, and physiologists. We apply our knowledge to study human movement, structure and function throughout the life cycle, in health and disease, in benign and extreme environments, at work, at home, at sports and at play.


Not only are we one of the strongest Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology programs in Canada, but we also have a strong commitment to research. Our educational goals are to impart a sound knowledge base and to promote critical thinking, problem solving, research, technical and communication skills appropriate to the field, through our undergraduate, graduate and continuing studies programs. Our Kinesiology major and honors programs are accredited with the Canadian Council of University Physical Education and Kinesiology Administrators (CCUPEKA).  See www.ccupeka.ca for more information.
