Abstract

This article describes the elements of the undergraduate core in kinesiology that have been established by the American Kinesiology Association. The American Kinesiology Association also describes a set of ten student-learning outcomes that emanate from the four core content elements. This information has been developed by the American Kinesiology Association to provide guidance regarding the development of locally appropriate curricula and learning outcomes for American Kinesiology Association member institutions. The American Kinesiology Association Core Curriculum is considered to be in the public domain and the American Kinesiology Association reserves the right to reproduce the document in a number of venues and formats. The American Kinesiology Association believes that increased communication relative to this topic will lead to enhanced communication across kinesiology programs which will in turn will lead to an informed sharing of ideas and perspectives. This will result in enhanced curricula in American Kinesiology Association departments across the nation and beyond.
