History
From the Department of Physical Education, the need to institute programs to maximize the growth and development of physical education and sports in the country was conceptualized under the leadership of Dr. Aparicio H. Mequi, who was then the director of the Department. Thus, this led to the establishment of the UP Institute of Sports, Physical Education, and Recreation (SPEAR) in 1976. In 1989, with the increase in the student population and the general public's current interest in sports and other physical activities, the name of the institute was eventually changed under the incumbency of the late Dr. Cynthia V. Abad Santos. Upon the recommendation of the faculty and the approval from the University Council, UP SPEAR became the UP College of Human Kinetics to better relate its field to that of movement science.
