It was when they became aware of the current state of the health system and its possible impact in the future that thirteen students in Kinesiology at the Université Laval found the initiative and courage to set up and bring to fruition a project for creating a student kinesiology clinic. The clinic not only had to ensure the well-being and health of the population, it also had to heighten public awareness of the benefits of physical activity and thus encourage people to consider the activities they already enjoyed from a completely new angle. Moreover, while working entirely along the same lines as the Commission d'étude sur les services de santé et les services sociaux, these future kinesiologists understood that prevention is often the essential element in constant physical well-being. It was thus from this perspective that, as well as to having offered a professional service and additional professional experience for numerous kinesiology students, they have contributed to increasing the social involvement of their discipline.
