Minor in Health Studies - Sociocultural Issues in Physical Activity KINE 3200   Sociocultural Issues in Physical Activity
CREDIT HOURS: 3
This course will provide students with an introduction to social theory, culture, and social psychology as applied to physical activity and sport. While recognizing that physical activity does not take place in a social vacuum, and that social content often influences how physical activity and sport are experienced, this course explores participation in, and perceptions of physical activity and sport according to gender, social class, age, sexual orientation, ethnic group and nationality. The meaning of physical activity and sport in society, the role of Canadian public policy in promoting and facilitating participation in physical activity, and sport as an agent for social change will also be explored.
