The very first International Biokinetics Week was hosted last year with the aim to introduce biokinetics to the rest of the world while also collaborating with international associations.

This aim is also captured in the International Biokinetics Week symbol. The basis of the logo shape is a circular icon. The meaning of the shape is universal, representing unity, wholeness and infinite motion.

The Globe indicates a modern representation of the world encapsulating all forms of human mobility while the human body symbol shows health and inclusion of all physical capabilities.

The colours blue and grey represent trustworthiness, dependability, commitment, intellect, knowledge and carries authority.

For the past three years people from around the world have felt the far- reaching impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on their health and livelihoods. Experts advise that rehabilitation should be specific with regular reviews throughout the process. Since these two factors lie at the heart of all biokinetic programs, it makes sense to start your journey to recovery in the capable hands of a biokineticist.

Around the world a tremendous amount of research has been done in the field of exercise immunology, investigating the various physiological mechanisms by which physical activity contributes to improved immune response. In particular, the effect of moderate to high levels of cardiovascular exercise and fitness level has been researched thoroughly.

The most important of these benefits include the positive response of the immune system to vaccination of individuals who are moderately active, as well as the reduction of low grade inflammation and enhanced immune system markers of various diseases.

Biokinetics is a medical profession that specialises in exercise therapy. It uses scientifically designed exercise programs as a treatment modality in preventative health care, improvement of health and physical ability, and performance enhancement. Biokinetics functions within a professional alliance to health and medicine and is recognised by and registered with the Health Professions Council of Namibia.
