Aims & Scope
Kinesiology Review (KR) is the official journal of the National Academy of Kinesiology and the American Kinesiology Association.
KR provides a forum for discussion and analysis of kinesiology research and its applications.
Although many journals publish reviews on select topics, KR stands alone in its focus on scholarly reviews from all subdisciplines of kinesiology.
This rigorously peer-reviewed journal serves the interests of those in all areas of study related to kinesiology—sport and exercise psychology, motor behavior, exercise physiology, biomechanics, sports medicine, sport history, sport philosophy, sport sociology, physical education pedagogy, and sport management.
The insightful review articles in KR address important issues and emerging research in all areas of kinesiology.
KR also publishes theoretical papers, critical analyses of significant issues and scientific methods, and position papers pertinent to kinesiology.
One issue each year contains papers based on scholarly presentations of the annual meeting of the National Academy of Kinesiology, which provides commentaries on timely issues in the field, and another issue contains papers reflecting the topic of the annual leadership workshop of the American Kinesiology Association.
Articles featured in KR have touched on recovering from spinal cord injuries, the role of physical activity in successful aging, diversity in kinesiology, and the history of organized youth sport in the United States.
Future articles will continue to explore new research in kinesiology and other topics of importance to the field.
KR’s broad coverage makes it a perfect source of information for faculty, researchers, and professionals who want to stay up to date on emerging research across the subdisciplines, as well as students who are starting their exploration of this fascinating field of study.
