Growing as a Professional in Physical Education,
Exercise Science, and Sport
The field and the specialized area of study is constantly changing, placing
professionals in a position to continue their knowledge development
based on the latest research, both scientific and practitioner-based.
• Research findings create opportunities for professionals to inform,
change, modify, and enhance their practice.
It is an individual’s ethical duty to stay current in the latest research,
practice, and technologies to provide your students, clients, and players
with the most accurate and effective instruction and practice.

potentially answers an investigated question.
Practitioner-based research.
• Focuses on how to apply the information learned within your
instruction or area of practice.
Quantitative research.
• Based on numbers, primarily the statistical analysis of numeric data
that were gathered.

Social Justice Talking Points
© McGraw Hill
15
Talking Points 1 and 2
• Physical activity initiatives and opportunities need to be provided to all
individuals regardless of one’s social identity and status; for example,
gender identity, race, sexual orientation, disability, socioeconomic
status, and age; if we want to increase physical activity levels and
decrease chronic and hypokinetic diseases.
• All aspects of human movement need to be advocated for and
supported rather than placing emphasis on judging and critiquing the
level or type of an activity over others (for example, playing a sport is
better than walking or doing yoga).
© McGraw Hill
16
Talking Points 3 and 4
• Emphasis needs to be placed on the interrelatedness of the disciplines
and allied fields instead of the disciplines operating as silos or in
competition with one another.
• Establishing a critical perspective through scientific based research
will allow professionals to make informed decisions that influence their
clients, players, employees, or students.

Current Trends 1
• The disciplines within the field of kinesiology will continue to be
interdisciplinary, yet also align with other areas within the medical,
health, and business fields.
• Advanced degrees are increasingly required for many professions
within the disciplines.
• The disciplines of exercise physiology, sport medicine/athletic training,
and sport management are rapidly expanding.

20
Current Trends 2
• Physical activity levels, nationally and worldwide, will continue to
decline if access and opportunity are not provided to all individuals.
• Physical activity and health initiatives and policy will begin to make a
positive impact on people’s longevity and quality of life.
• Empirical research will continue to provide us with valuable
information that will allow us to make informed decisions about our
health and wellness.
