masters in Kinesiology or something similar?
(OP)
I am very interested in the human body and how it works, and what to do (as in athletics) to achieve the bodies fullest potential. I am debating going back to school for a masters in Kinesiology or something of the sort. What are positions out there relating to Kinesiology and or Biomechanics. I am very interested in both subject areas but found myself in a DOD job once out of college. I DO NOT enjoy what I do and neeeed to get back into the field I somewhat went to college for. Can anyone point me in a direction based on those interests I have pointed out, what careers/jobs I could make out of that? (also, not needed, but what is the pay range in the fields suggested).
Thank you in advance

I'm a PhD student in Biomechanics in the UK. Biomechanics covers a very wide area from the mechanical properties of soft tissues in the organs of the body and how they receive and eliminate metabolite through to the dynamics of the skeleto-muscular system.
The subject is very broad so if you want an overview of the mechanical characteristics of the whole body then a masters in Biomechanincs is the way to go.
If you are just interested in the dynamics of the musculo-skeletal system then Kinesiology is teh way to go or maybe even physiotherpy.
Hope this helps Nic
