What is unique about this program at the U of M? The Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management at the University of Manitoba offers specific theory and practical based course work for students working toward Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP) certifications, and Certified Personal Trainer (CPT). Several other advanced courses are available in our program to help students prepare for the Certified Exercise Physiologist (CEP) upon completion of the degree. Two UofM Kinesiology graduates have spun their expertise in biomechanics into Olympic opportunities, working alongside Canadian athletes and trainers in Turino (2006), Beijing (2008), and Vancouver, B.C. (2010). There are two graduate degree programs; Master of Science and Master of Arts (Kinesiology and Recreation) that are closely linked with the Health, Leisure and Human Performance Research Institute. The HLHPRI is a multidisciplinary research unit of world-class researchers who offer expertise in such diverse areas as neuromuscular development, tourism, hypothermia, Aboriginal health, and biomechanics. A multi-faculty PhD degree in Applied Health Sciences was introduced in 2007.
