Kinesiology

The Department of Kinesiology is all about helping people live healthier, stronger lives through movement and wellness. Here, you’ll study how physical activity impacts the body and mind across every stage of life, and you’ll learn how to apply that knowledge in real-world settings.

Our programs combine exercise science, health education, and hands-on practice to prepare you for careers in fitness, health, rehabilitation, or sport. Beyond the classroom, you’ll find opportunities to put your skills into action, such as working with Tech’s campus-wide activity program to helping older adults stay active through our Senior Adult Fitness Program.

No matter your path, you’ll graduate ready to make a difference in the health and wellness of others.

Senior Adult Fitness Program

For more than 40 years, Louisiana Tech's Senior Adult Fitness Program has helped adults ages 55+ stay active, healthy, and connected. We offer a variety of fun, affordable classes like Water Aerobics and Chair Exercise that make fitness enjoyable for every ability level. For those looking for a little more challenge, our Fitness After Five class is a great option for working adults or anyone who enjoys higher-intensity workouts.

All classes are led by experienced professionals who are passionate about promoting health and wellness in a safe, encouraging environment.

But fitness is just the beginning! We also host activities like our popular Annual Fish Fry at the Argent Pavilion, giving you a chance to connect with friends and build community.

Come see why this program has been a favorite for over 40 years! To learn more, contact Lacey Deal at 318.257.5458 or ldeal@latech.edu.
