Program Information

Graduate study in Applied Physiology and Kinesiology (APK) is focused on research in concentration areas including: athletic training; biomechanics; motor control and learning; exercise physiology; and performance psychology. Graduate students are exposed to and directly involved in research covering the full multidisciplinary spectrum of human potential from young to old, fit to unfit, healthy to diseased, able-bodied to disabled, and from the casual recreational participant to the high-level athlete. In addition to human performance issues, APK faculty and students study the immediate and lasting effects of exercise and its use in disease prevention and rehabilitation.

For more information, please see our website: http://apk.hhp.ufl.edu/index.php/current-students/prospective-students.
