The Best Online KIN Study Resources
No matter which kinesiology courses you are taking, I think many of us have had the experience of scouring through every nook and cranny of the internet to find helpful studying resources. Despite there being a wide variety of resources available, I find that most of them do not go into the amount of detail that I need. To help save you guys the trouble of searching, below is a list of some online kinesiology studying resources that I have found to be the most helpful.
Clinical Anatomy (https://www.clinicalanatomy.ca/)
When studying anatomy, I think that this website is the BEST. This UBC-funded website has numerous videos, interactive modules, and detailed diagrams of every part of the body. I found this source helpful when I was studying muscles because it broke down every group into superficial and deep compartments. This saved me the frustration of having to look through the textbook every time I needed to find diagrams of specific muscles.
Youtube Channel: Corporis (https://www.youtube.com/c/Corporis)
For introductory physiology, I found that this channel explains concepts such as the sliding filament theory in a detailed and engaging way. They also have multiple videos that break down every muscle of the body, which I found VERY helpful when reviewing hours before my anatomy exam. If you need to brush up on the basics or need a quick review, I highly recommend checking out this channel.
Youtube Channel: Crash Course (https://www.youtube.com/c/crashcourse)
I definitely could not leave the lovely Green brothers out of this list. Not only does he explain difficult concepts in a very entertaining way, but he also has a playlist of over forty videos dedicated to anatomy and physiology. If you need extra support for studying body systems, this channel is your best option.
Quizlet (https://quizlet.com/)
When all else fails, Quizlet is there to save the day! I find that this website is the best for theory-based courses, but you can definitely find cue card decks for any course. A quick tip: To find cue cards for a specific course, type out the name of the course rather than the code in the search bar. For example, if you are looking for cue cards for KIN 150, look up “Sport and Exercise Psychology” instead. This will help dwindle down your search results to be the most specific to the course that you are studying for.
I hope that you find these resources to be helpful. If you need further studying support, reach out to your professors, TAs, and other kinners!
You’ve got this!
