The Department of Kinesiology aims to be a leading research department where faculty and students conduct cutting-edge research in state-of-the-art facilities.
Research-intensive, progressive, and innovative.
Our Department of Kinesiology has a long history in human performance science research. As one of the most research-intensive departments in the University with a strong reputation, we have a substantial, continuous influx of excellent researchers, undergraduate and graduate students.
Our research is dedicated to improving human health and performance across the lifespan using innovative methods and cutting-edge technologies housed in state-of-the-art laboratories, including:
- behavioural/observation labs
- ergonomics labs
- intervention labs
- ‘dry’ biophysical labs
- ‘wet’ biophysical labs
The Roy and Lois Cairns Health and Bioscience Research Complex is advancing Canada’s science and technology infrastructure. It houses world-class work by researchers in areas like cancer, infectious diseases, and bone and muscle health. It is a hub for innovative research and knowledge transfer.
