Thanks to all. The French is actually a bad translation from Portuguese. Not being able to find the actual cursus, I used the general "human movement science" to cover all bases.

Kinesiology


Explanation:
Kinesiology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
This article is about the scientific study of human movement. For other uses, see Kinesiology (disambiguation).
