Kinesiology & Health Promotion

A thesis is a large research paper written to attain a masters degree. Some institutions call their masters level papers "dissertations" which is the usual term of such a paper at the doctoral level.

Here are three suggested methods for finding Masters theses in Kinesiology:

Method 1 – 

Use the links on this page to find masters theses in Kinesiology done here at Cal Poly Pomona. These are (almost) all hard bound paper versions housed here in the library building.

Method 2 –

Use the database OregonPDF to get full text for theses and dissertations for Kinesiology. Items with a masters degree abbreviation (M.S., M.A., etc.) are for masters level work. Items not already in PDF format can be requested to be converted to PDF and will be converted and made available within 24 hours.

Method 3 –

You can use the ProQuest Dissertations & Theses database to read online versions of some of the non-Cal Poly Pomona masters theses and dissertations published in the area of Kinesiology. Once you have started up the database:

• Type kinesiology OR physical education OR sports medicine in the first search box.
• Add subject terms in the next search box(es). (Here we are using the term "aerobics").
• Click on the "Full Text" check box
• Click on the "Master's theses" check box.
• Click on the Search button
• You can use the Doctoral Dissertations check box for Dissertations

When you get a list of results, Citation/Abstract will give you a summary of the thesis. Use the Full Text-PDF link to read a copy of the whole thesis.
