Abstract

The academic preparation of graduates in exercise sciences may not be sufficient for professional practice. This is due to the focus on exercise physiology in the curriculum, which has reduced the scope and uniqueness of the field. To improve the training of graduates in this area, it is necessary to integrate biomechanics and motor behavior into the curriculum of Exercise Science and Sport Sciences. This would balance and integrate the academic disciplines of kinesiology and improve professional practice in the field of exercise and sports
