kinesiology translates to 运动学?

[Hero Doug]

I translated kinesiology word just now and it translated to 运动学; which I question.

When I read 运动学 I think the study of sports, not human kenitics. Is this the correct translation?

运动学 is OK. But if you don't like it, you can still try 运动机能学.

Thanks for the confirmation, if it's right it's right; doesn't matter what I think it sounds like.

运动 can also be to just move - think of 运动 as in (political) movement - obviously not the same type of movement, but you can see the connection.
