human movement (kinesiology, sports science, …)
trans-disciplinary science
structural and development kinanthropology (physics, biomechanics, kinesiology etc. – bases of human dispositions and abilities to motion)
social, cultural, and pedagogical kinanthropology (philosophy, psychology, sociology, etc. – its aspects to human motion, at first in P.E. and sport)
medical kinanthropology (anatomy, physiology, sports medicine - regeneration, nutrition, stress tests, functional disorders, injuries etc. – in cooperation with paediatrics, orthopaedics, ...)
