Short overview and structure of the online course

Kinesiology is defined as the study of movement. This definition may be general, as kinesiology combines anatomy, physiology, physics, and other disciplines. Kinesiology is the scientific study of human movement, aiming to understand how the human body moves and responds to physical activity. As kinesiology combines many different disciplines, it is not a good idea to study kinesiology until you have acquired sufficient basic knowledge. When you have acquired enough basic knowledge of the functioning of the human body and have successfully completed kinesiology, you have made a huge step forward in understanding the functioning of the human body in the context of movements.

In the future, you will find the structure of the Kinesiology e-course here.

Prerequisites for enrolling in an online course

There are two prerequisites for participation in the Kinesiology e-course: you must have previously completed the Functional Anatomy and Human Anatomy and Physiology course. This is because the aforementioned e-courses provide knowledge of the skeletal muscles and other systems of the human body; also, information about the basic human body movements is acquired. This is essential for a more systematic understanding of the movements performed in the context of the skeletal muscles and joints, as the Kinesiology e-course will cover these topics in even greater detail.

If you are planning to participate in the Kinesiology e-course, please send us copies of your Human Anatomy and Physiology course and Functional Anatomy course certificates by e-mail (koolitused@multifarius.ee) after registering for the e-course. If you have completed these courses at our institution, you are not required to submit these copies. In addition to previous studies, we also take work experience into account; for further information, please contact us by e-mail.

Completion of the online course

In order to participate in the Kinesiology e-course, you need to register an account on the website, which will later be linked to the Kinesiology e-course. More information will be provided after registration for the e-course.

Kinesiology e-course is based on recorded video lectures. If you have any questions during the course, you can email them to the course organiser. If the questions do not require a long answer, they will be answered by email. In the case of a longer answer, we prefer three options: 1) by telephone; 2) via Zoom; 3) creating an additional video clip to the e-course. In the case of the first two options an exact date and time mutually convenient to both sides shall be agreed. If possible, we prefer to create an additional video clip to accompany the e-course when answering questions.

Documents delivered after the online course

Upon completion of the Kinesiology e-course, a certificate or a notice will be issued. A certificate will be issued on the basis of the achievement of all learning outcomes. To achieve the learning objectives, various tasks must be accomplished: answering short questions, taking tests, describing processes, analysing movements, etc. Written feedback will be given to written assignments. They will be reviewed and fed back within 24 to 72 (usually 24) hours; after that, you can move on to the next module.

When can I start completing the online course?

The online course will be open for enrolment in 2025 at the latest.
