Kinesiologists study human movement. They conduct several tests, to determine how their body will function, and find ways to improve this movement. There are three main types of kinesiologists; exercise Kinesiologists, biomedical kinesiologists and psychomotor behavior experts. Exercise Kinesiologists examine how the body moves in sports such as soccer and dance. They examine the cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary capability of an athlete and develop programs to improve this. Biomedical Kinesiologists help people who have chronic diseases or physical disabilities that alter their movement. Lastly, psychomotor behavior experts assist people with perception, reaction times and motor learning skills. Including people with autism and neurological impairments. After some research online I have discovered kinesiology. Being a dancer, Im extremely interested in the movement of the human body. I would love to be a professional dancer, but I dont see this as a stable source of income. I need the stability of a job such as kinesiology. I like that I would be working one on one with people, so that I could develop my people skills. I like that I would be helping people reach their optimum physical level. Im also taking all the sciences in grade 11 and 12 so this should help for the science aspect of kinesiology.

It is estimated that by 2018 there will be 66,732 job openings and 79,021 job seekers wanting to fill these jobs in the Kinesiology department. Poor occupational outlook. The average hourly wage for Recreation, Sports and Fitness Program Supervisors and Consultants ranged from $11 to $47 dollars an hour in2009. Most kinesiologists work a regular workweek. They have to be available for their patient when they need assistance which may involve working extra hours. There is little risk of injury, since you are mostly working with technology, but you are doing no physical labour. Kinesiologists can work both indoors and outdoors. From working in the lab, to a clinic, even to working on the sidelines of a sports game. Doctor: I like that I would be making a difference in peoples lives.
