An Enduring Momentum:

The Genesis of VSU's IHK

INSTITUTE OF HUMAN KINETICS

The Institute of Human Kinetics (IHK) of the Eastern Visayas' leading academic institution dedicated to addressing issues related to human movement, wellness education, and sports science is located at Visayas State University (VSU). The Institute is located in the main campus of the university in a beautiful setting, surrounded by a majestic natural ecosystem between Mount Pangasugan and Camotes Sea, Baybay City, Leyte. This inspiring geography serves as the actual staging ground for major regional events, such as the historic "Golden Run: The Great Path-Fit IHK Run" and the highly energetic, university-wide Sálingkusóg Intramural Games. The campus grounds, lower ovals and the VSU Gymnatorium become competitive Arenas during these large-scale athletic events, in which IHK actively implements its core missions. IHK directly supports scientific kinesiology, rigorous training and systematic promotion of health literacy, while developing highly competent, ethical, and socially responsible sports professionals in the process of facilitating these massive tournaments and managing system-wide physical education.

The developments of the institute follow a similar path to the evolution of VSU from a small regional agricultural school to a top-notch state university. This rich academic journey begins with the beginning of the unit in a minor group of general elective courses on June 19, 1960, under the auspices of the legacy Visayas Agricultural College. With the passing of the former University President Dr. Fernando A. Bernardo, the institutional footprint was enhanced in August 1975 when he formally declared the unit as an independent institutional body called the Department of Physical Education (DPE). The department then went through another drastic structural shift in 2002, the year of the milestones, under the transformative leadership of President Dr. Paciencia P. Milan. In her time there, the department was formally elevated and renamed the Institute of Human Kinetics, reflecting the increased influence of the department in athletic development within the region, its increasing separate curricular offerings, and the department's flourishing academic research.

Currently operating under VSU's specialized Faculty of Teacher Education, IHK continues to expand its local footprint by hosting major foundational milestones and multi-day sports festivals. One vivid illustration of its institutional maturity was at its 45th anniversary ceremony, where a virtual "Kapihan" convention was held, bringing together past and present directors for a strategic discussion on the future of sports science in the region. Recently, the institute organized the big Lower Campus Oval parade, multi-day Lower Campus sporting events and a colorful Dance Festival at the Gymnatorium culminating the return of the Sǎlingkusóg University-wide Intramural Games. The momentum generated by these successful activities is being followed by IHK to strive for its vision going forward and becoming a subsidiary unit. The institute is striving to become a fully fledged autonomous and independent college, and at the same time has been awarded its official designation as a CHED Center of Excellence (COE).
