Human Kinetics Intellectual Education Divisions

Human Kinetics also has five intellectual education divisions that are extensive and comprehensive in the areas of fitness, nutrition, and health.

Human Kinetics Journal Division

The Journal Division publishes many scholarly journals that are full of the newest research in the fields of physical education and health. Human Kinetics professional publications then apply this new information in clear, concise and practical ways.

The tables of contents of all the Human Kinetics journals and publications are available online, and people with subscriptions to the journals can see the articles online or in print.

Human Kinetics Professional Education Division

People training to be in the fitness and/or health fields as well as already trained professionals can benefit from the Human Kinetics Professional Education Division. This program has three main goals:

• To train new people in a variety of physical education and health fields and provide those already in the field with continuing education.
• To teach individuals about behavior changing techniques, such as Active Living Every Day and Healthy Eating Every Day.
• To provide an online information-sharing community for professionals in the field of active aging.

Human Kinetics Scientific, Technical and Medical Division

Human Kinetics began by filling the need for scholarly material for physical education; as this field grew, the company’s Scientific, Technical and Medical Division (STM) did too.

Human Kinetics STM writes and publishes textbooks, DVDs, CDs and online materials for areas such as biomechanics, motor behavior and sports sociology. Their works are used in a wide variety of professions from sports management to cardiac rehabilitation.

The Trade Division ensures that Human Kinetics educational materials – whether books, journals, DVDs, CDs or other formats – are in the stores for people to buy. Human Kinetics caters to a wide range of groups, from athletes, personal trainers, and fitness gurus to people who just want to live healthier, more active lives.
