Doctor of Philosophy in Biomechanics and Kinesiology

University of Nebraska at Omaha

The Doctorate in Biomechanics and Kinesiology is a joint program between the Department of Biomechanics and the School of Health and Kinesiology. Based on the physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, motor control and development, and psychosociology of human movement, the Exercise Science doctoral program is aimed at improving movement function and physical activity level using evidence-based approaches through interdisciplinary clinical and translational research. A problem-solving approach is used across the age and health spectrum for disease prevention, health enhancement, physical rehabilitation, and exercise motivation. The degree offers concentrations in Biomechanics, Motor Development and Control, Physiology of Exercise, and Physical Activity.
