About Kinesiology Kris
Who writes this site, how the lessons are built, and how the content is reviewed.
Written by Kris
Kinesiology Kris is a kinesiology educator who makes body mechanics, anatomy, and movement science approachable for students. Every lesson, study guide, quiz, and game on this site is written and illustrated with one goal: help students actually understand how the human body moves, instead of memorizing terms they forget a week later.
The teaching approach comes from years of explaining the same concepts — levers, muscle actions, origins and insertions, center of gravity — to learners who were told to memorize them without context. Diagrams, worked examples, and practice questions are built to remove that gap.
What you'll find here
- Body Mechanics lessons — levers, force and motion, center of gravity, and muscle actions.
- Bone study guides and muscle references with origins, insertions, actions, and innervation.
- Practice tests, learning games, and video lessons for active recall.
- Articles on exercise science, kinesiology careers, and health topics that affect how people move.
Editorial policy
Scientific claims are sourced from peer-reviewed research, professional organizations (such as the ACSM), or public health agencies (such as the CDC and USDA), and the references are listed at the bottom of each article so you can verify them yourself.
Publication dates reflect when a page was first published. Pages are updated when the underlying evidence changes, and dates are not refreshed for cosmetic edits.
Nothing on this site is medical advice. Educational content about anatomy, training, and health topics is not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment from a licensed clinician. If you have pain, injury, or a medical condition, talk to a qualified healthcare professional.
