kinesiology
The scientific study of human movement.
🌱With a kinesiology degree in hand, she landed a job as a rehab therapist for patients following heart surgery. 🌳Kinesiologists study the acquisition of motor skills, the mechanical aspects of movement, and the body's responses to physical activity. A kinesiologist may work in a public-school fitness program, design exercise programs for people with and without disabilities, or work with patients recovering from disease, accidents, and surgery. As a field of research, kinesiology focuses particularly on the mechanics of muscular activity. hyperkinetic 1、 Relating to or affected with hyperactivity.
2、 Characterized by fast-paced or frantic activity.
🌱Noises Off is a hyperkinetic stage farce that moves at a breathless pace for a full hour and a half. 🌳Since the prefix hyper- means "above, beyond" （See HYPER,） hyperkinetic describes motion beyond the usual. The word is usually applied to children, and often describes the condition of almost uncontrollable activity or muscular movements called attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder （ADHD）. Kids with ADHD are usually not just hyperkinetic but also inattentive, forgetful, and flighty. Though they're often treated with drugs, many experts believe there are better ways of dealing with the problem. Lots of people now shorten both hyperactive and hyperkinetic to simply hyper （"He's been hyper all morning", but usually don't mean it too seriously. kinescope A motion picture made from an image on a picture tube.
🌱In the archives she turned up several kinescopes of Ernie Kovacs's 1950s show, which she thought had been dumped into New York Harbor decades ago. 🌳Kinescope, originally a trademark for the cathode-ray tube in a TV, later became the name for a film of a TV screen showing a live broadcast. In order for a program to be seen beyond New York in the early days of TV, a kinescope had to be shipped from station to station. Though grainy and fuzzy, these were for a time the only way of capturing live shows. But in 1951 Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball decided to film their comedy show rather than to broadcast it live, and in a few years live broadcast comedy and drama had vanished from the airwaves. telekinesis The movement of objects without contact or other physical means, as by the exercise of an occult power.
🌱Fascinated by telekinesis as a boy, he'd spent hours in his room trying to push a pencil off the table using only his mind. 🌳Tele- in Greek means "far off" （See TELE.）The eternally appealing idea of moving an object remotely, using only psychic powers, has had a long life in films, TV shows, stories and novels, video games, and comics. But although some researchers believe in the existence of telekinesis （also known as psychokinesis, most scientists believe that any reported experiences have been the result of fraud, wishful thinking, or naturally explainable events.

KINE comes from the Greek word kinesis, meaning "movement." Kinetic energy is the energy of motion (as opposed to potential energy, the kind of energy held by a stretched elastic band). Kinetic art is art that has moving parts, such as Alexander Calder's famous mobiles. And cinema, the art of moving pictures, actually comes from the same kine- root as well.🌸
