WELCOME TO THE SHOW!

Welcome to the KN Chats Podcast where we discuss endless topics in the field of Kinesiology.

Kinesiology is defined as the science dealing with the interrelationship of the physiological processes and anatomy of the human body with respect to movement.

In our world, this means that we talk about everything that involves movement.

Exercise, health and fitness, anatomy and physiology, exercise, strength and conditioning, psychology, coaching, sports… the topics are ENDLESS.

The show is brought to you by Erick Mojica and Dr. Gerald Larson.
