What is Kinesiology and Why Does Everyone Care?

I believe it was E! Entertainment yesterday that showed a quick quiz near the end of the show last night right before the Biggest Loser came on. Tons of people tune in to watch The Biggest Loser so this quiz got lots of views, and today, the topic is a hot trend! Yay!

The question was “Which of the ‘Desperate Housewives’ has a B.S. degree in Kinesiology?”

The answer was Eva Longoria, who received her degree from Texas A&M University-Kingsville in 1998.

So what is all this kinesiology hooplah? Kinesiology is the study of human kinetics and human movement. It’s often a field of scientific study of human and animal movement. A degree in Kinesiology can result in a career as a rehabilitation professional, careers in the sports and medicine industry, as well as work in clinical research studies.

Eva Longoria is not only beautiful, she’s smart too.
