General kinesiology

We call the science of movement kinesiology; it is precisely this scientifically grounded discipline that helps improve human health. Exercise follows its own principles, and it is managed so that success can be achieved predictably, both in healthy athletes and recreational exercisers and in people after injuries and damage to tissues or organs. In physical and rehabilitation medicine, kinesiology – exercise – contributes to better health, to maintaining and conditioning motor knowledge and skills and to preventing a decline in the fitness level already achieved, and at the competitive level of top athletes it has its maximum effect. Exercise therapy affects individual organs and organ systems, as well as the body as a whole. Recreational kinesiology goes beyond strictly medical reasons, although it is closely linked to them, because in the bio-psycho-social sense it has a crucial influence on human health.

Kinesiology also aims to educate people so that basic knowledge, abilities and motor skills can be applied to fall prevention, weight loss and the prevention of cardiovascular and neurovascular risks – in other words, not only to the health of the musculoskeletal system but also to the health of the nervous, endocrine, digestive, respiratory and other body systems, and of the body as a whole. The crowning achievement of kinesiology is top-level sport, where maximum effort produces top results.
