EVENT IMPACT

“Kinesiology, as the science of movement, delves into various disciplines such as anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and motor control to comprehend the complexities of movement.

Dr. Anderson’s book and discourses serve as invaluable tools in deciphering the multifaceted nature of human movement, offering insights that make the subject accessible and enjoyable.

By emphasising qualitative movement, characterised by precise feedback, self-awareness, and practice, participants can achieve spontaneity, efficiency, and fulfilment in their endeavours.”
