Kinesiology started in Sweden


The Swedish Professor Carl August Georgii at the Royal Gymnastic Central Institute GCI in Stockholm, created and coined the new international word Kinesiology in 1854.

The term Kinesiology is a literal translation to Greek-English from the original Swedish word Rörelselära, meaning "Movement-Study/Knowledge", which was the foundation of the Medical Gymnastics (the original Physiotherapy) from Sweden.
