Human Kinetics ProgramThe Human Kinetics Program (HKP) of U.P. Baguio grew out of the former Sports, Physical Education and Recreation (SPEAR) Division. Prior to U.P. Baguio's elevation into the 7th constituent Unit, the SPEAR Division in U.P. Baguio was a distinct unit existing alongside other divisions of what was then U.P. College Baguio which provided courses to satisfy the P.E. requirements of students in all programs offered by the degree-granting units of the university. Physical education was originally under the Department of Physical Education of Diliman in 961 but as absorbed by U.P College Baguio n the 1970s. With U.P. Baguio's elevation to C.U. status in 2002, the SPEAR Division became he Human Kinetics Program under the College of Science.
Today, the HKP continues to provide advanced instruction and research in the human movement sciences. It also aims to promote physical education, sports and recreation among the students and other constituents of the university through its service PE program and athletic/sports program.
