Abstract | The latter half of the 20th century witnessed the dramatic rise of specialization in the subdisciplines of kinesiology, which resulted in scholarly development, but fragmentation. A need is articulated herein for an "issues-based" approach to research that will attract scholars from multiple subdisciplines, address compelling challenges of social significance, and foster a strong professional identity. Two examples of integrative approaches, embodied as centers, are developed in both the health- and performance-related areas of kinesiology. Initially, the multilevel research possibilities relevant to a Center for Physical Activity and the Dementias are discussed and followed by the possibilities for a Center for the Study of Elite Performance. The benefits of an integrative approach to societal interests and the discipline of kinesiology are described. (Contains 4 figures.) (As Provided). |
