Integrated Physical Activity for Life I and II*
(*Students starting in Kinesiology and Health Science in Fall 2024 or later)
* Integrated Physical Activity for Life (IPAL) is an activity-based experiential education program of core courses that strive to develop all Kinesiology students into well rounded ambassadors of physical activity who possess the knowledge and ability to promote healthy behaviours for themselves, and those around them. The IPAL program promotes a lifespan holistic approach to health and physical activity participation.
Practicum (PKIN) Courses*
Any student who started their KINE degree prior to Fall 2024 will be required to complete the PKIN program
** PKIN requirements have been changed, transitioning from six mandatory areas plus two electives, to three mandatory areas plus five electives (Five PKINs from any of the six areas), totaling eight PKINs**
Three mandatory areas: Aquatic, Track & Field, and Emergency Care.
