Through the MOVING FORWARD WITH COVID-19 – KINESIOLOGY GUIDELINES FOR MAINTAINING OPTIMAL HEALTH, CKA demonstrates how Kinesiologists are part of the solution to support Canadians on the road to recovery. In Canada, heart disease is the second leading cause of death after cancer, and a leading cause of hospitalization. Improving cardiorespiratory fitness or “endurance” can help Canadians increase their lifespan and improve quality of life, even reducing the risk of complications or death from COVID-19. Increasing physical activity and reducing sedentary behaviour can improve, help prevent or manage chronic diseases such as heart disease and respiratory problems. The Canadian Kinesiology Alliance (CKA) is a non-profit corporation that advocates and promotes the advancement of the profession of kinesiology in Canada.
