Kinetics (, ''movement'' or ''to move'') may refer to:

Science and medicine

Kinetics (physics) In physics and engineering, kinetics is the branch of classical mechanics that is concerned with the relationship between the motion In physics, motion is when an object changes its position with respect to a reference point in a given time ...

, the study of motion and its causes ** Rigid body kinetics, the study of the motion of rigid bodies *

Chemical kinetics Chemical kinetics, also known as reaction kinetics, is the branch of physical chemistry that is concerned with understanding the rates of chemical reactions. It is different from chemical thermodynamics, which deals with the direction in which a ...

, the study of chemical reaction rates **

Enzyme kinetics Enzyme kinetics is the study of the rates of enzyme catalysis, enzyme-catalysed chemical reactions. In enzyme kinetics, the reaction rate is measured and the effects of varying the conditions of the reaction are investigated. Studying an enzyme' ...

Pharmacokinetics Pharmacokinetics (from Ancient Greek ''pharmakon'' "drug" and ''kinetikos'' "moving, putting in motion"; see chemical kinetics), sometimes abbreviated as PK, is a branch of pharmacology dedicated to describing how the body affects a specific su ...

, the study of the processes a substance undergoes in the animal body, particularly the rates at which it is absorbed, distributed, metabolised and excreted ** One-compartment kinetics, for a chemical compound specifies that the uptake in the compartment is proportional to the concentration outside the compartment, and the elimination is proportional to the concentration inside the compartment ** Flip-flop kinetics, the pharmacokinetics of sustained-release or extended-release drug formulations **

Toxicokinetics Toxicokinetics (often abbreviated as 'TK') is the description of both what rate a chemical will enter the body and what occurs to excrete and metabolize the compound once it is in the body. Relation to pharmacokinetics It is an application of pha ...

, the branch of pharmacokinetics dealing with compounds that are toxic or can be administered in toxic doses *

Human kinetics Kinesiology () is the scientific study of human body movement. Kinesiology addresses physiological, anatomical, biomechanical, pathological, neuropsychological principles and mechanisms of movement. Applications of kinesiology to human health i ...
