Dr. Patricia Sherblom
Assistant Professor of Kinesiology
Dr. Sherblom received her BA from United States
International University, San Diego, CA (1977),
and her master’s degree form the University
of Massachusetts, Amherst (1982), and her Ph. D.
degree from University of New Mexico, Albuquerque (1995).
Administered by the Department of Behavioral Science within
the College of Arts and Sciences.
Kinesiology is the study of human movement. The discipline
of kinesiology incorporates numerous sub-disciplines which
assist in developing our understanding of human movement at
work and at play. These sub-disciplines include exercise
physiology, biomechanics, sport and exercise psychology,
sociology of sport, motor control, motor learning, and motor
development. Students majoring in Kinesiology have an opportunity
to study human movement from all of these perspectives and
thereby develop an understanding of how human movement affects
and is affected by variables related to each sub-discipline.
Kinesiology is not a profession, but a body of knowledge
applicable to many professions ranging from teaching to therapy.
A major in Kinesiology is appropriate for students interested
in elementary and/or secondary physical education and coaching,
adult fitness and wellness, youth sports, physical therapy,
sport psychology, athletic training, sports medicine, and
graduate study in Kinesiology, medicine and allied health.
Since coursework beyond the Bachelor of Science degree in
Kinesiology is frequently required for each of these interest
areas, students are advised to discuss with their advisors
their professional aspirations early in their degree programs
at The University of Texas of the Permian Basin.
Regardless of students’ reasons for pursuing an undergraduate
degree in Kinesiology, they are required to take a series
of major core courses. In addition, all students are expected
to demonstrate competence in a number of forms of movement
(sport, dance, etc.). Interest in a particular sub-discipline
or profession is reflected in the specialization area courses
that students take. These specialization areas include (1)
Pre-Professional Physical Education, (2) Exercise Science
and Human Performance, (3) Exercise and Sport Studies and
(4) Athletic Training. The culminating experience for all
students is completion of an independent study and practicum
experience. Through this experience, students have the opportunity
to gain expertise and practical experience in a specific professional
area.

Degree Requirements
The minimum total credits required for a B.S. in Kinesiology
is 120
General Education
44 Credits
Students must complete the requirements listed in the General
Education Requirements section on pages 51-52 of this
catalog. In meeting the physical and life science requirement,
Kinesiology majors and all students seeking teacher certification
in physical education are required to take 8 semester
credit hours in biology.
Computer Use
All Kinesiology majors must demonstrate a basic use of computing
through the completion of KINE 3310 and KINE 4300.
Kinesiology Common Course Requirements
Kinesiology majors, minors, and all students seeking teacher
certification in physical education must complete either Human
Anatomy and Physiology (BIOL 3350/3151, BIOL 3352/3153 for
8 credits) or Anatomy and Physiology for Kinesiology (KINE
2385 for 3 credits) in addition to the biology courses used
to meet the general education requirements. Anatomy and Physiology
I and II (8 credits), which is often taught at the 2000-level
course at the community colleges, will also satisfy this prerequisite
requirement. Anatomy and Physiology is prerequisite to many
courses in Kinesiology and should be taken early in the degree
program.
Kinesiology majors must complete course requirements for
one of four specialization areas: (1) pre-professional physical
education, (2) exercise science and human performance, (3)
sport and exercise studies or (4) athletic training. The choice
of specialization area is an important one. It should be strongly
influenced by the student’s career goals. It is important
for the student to discuss each area with the academic advisor
prior to completing a degree plan.
Students are urged to consult with their faculty advisors
for specific degree planning early in their academic careers
and frequently throughout their tenure at The University of
Texas of the Permian Basin.
A brief description of each specialization area and the required
courses follows:
I. Pre-Professional Physical Education: Students wishing
to teach physical education and/or coach sports are required
to complete the following courses. Completion of these courses,
along with the appropriate education courses, will qualify

Demonstrated competence in 8-12 forms of movement is required
of all Kinesiology majors. Credits earned in meeting this
requirement do not count toward the 37 hours required for
a degree in Kinesiology. However, they count toward the 120
hours required for graduation.
The forms of movement requirement may be fulfilled in a number
of ways. Options include taking Forms of Movement courses
(KINE 1109), Lifetime Sports courses (KINE 1159), participation
in intercollegiate or professional athletics and possession
of a current official’s rating. In order to assure that
students are competent in a wide variety of activities there
are specific distribution requirements. The Forms of Movement
Program Handbook is available from any Kinesiology faculty
member. A record of each student’s progress in the forms
of movement program is kept in the program coordinator’s
office. Each student is encouraged to meet with the coordinator
initially to design her/his own program and periodically to
review progress toward completion of the requirement.
Minor in Kinesiology
A Kinesiology Minor may be obtained by successfully completing
19 semester credit hours in Kinesiology of which 13 must be
upper level. Students minoring in Kinesiology must take the
following courses:
- KINE 2385: Anatomy and Physiology for Kinesiology (3
credits)
- KINE 3350: Exercise Physiology (3 credits)
- KINE 3151: Lab: Exercise Physiology (1 credit)
- KINE 4310: Sport Skill Analysis (3 credits)
- KINE 4320: Sport Psychology or KINE 4323: Exercise Psychology
or KINE 4340: Sociology of Sport (3 credits)
The required courses total 13 semester credit hours. Students
should select additional course work in Kinesiology, at least
6 credit hours, with an eye toward satisfying their interests
and career goals, as well as meeting upper-level distribution
requirements and the 19 credit hour minimum.
Physical activity courses, including those labeled KINE 1109
or KINE 1159, are encouraged, but do not count toward the
19 credit hour requirement.
Coaching Minor
The Kinesiology faculty recognizes that some students are
attracted to a Kinesiology Minor because they wish to coach
athletes in a K-12 or a college and university setting. If
a student desires to coach athletes as their primary professional
goal, they are strongly encouraged to major in Kinesiology.
For those students who plan to coach as an avocation, the
Coaching Minor may be appropriate. While this minor requires
an additional 6 semester credit hours above the Kinesiology
Minor, it does include those courses that are directly applicable
to coaching.
A Coaching Minor may be obtained by successfully completing
the following 25 semester credit hours in Kinesiology:
1. KINE 3360: Coaching of Sports (3 credits)
2. KINE 2370: Care and Prevention of Athletic Injuries
(3 credits)
3. KINE 2385: Anatomy and Physiology for Kinesiology (3
credits)
4. KINE 3350: Exercise Physiology (3 credits)
5. KINE 3151: Lab: Exercise Physiology (1 credit)
6. KINE 4310: Sport Skill Analysis (3 credits)
7. KINE 4320: Sport Psychology (3 credits)
8. KINE 4340: Sociology of Sport (3 credits)
9. Kinesiology elective – upper division (3 credits)
Physical activity courses, including those labeled KINE 1109
or KINE 1159, are encouraged, but do not count toward the
25 semester credit hour requirement.
TExES/ExCET Requirements
Candidates for TExES test in All-Level Physical Education
must have completed the courses listed below, or equivalent
courses, and the appropriate education courses in the School
of Education. School of Education courses must include EDUC
