Welcome To Exercise and Sport Science
This major is designed for students who are interested in pursuing employment in the field of Exercise and Sport Science.
The undergraduate Exercise and Sport Science Track is designed to prepare self-directed students who desire a specialized background to pursue goals in professional or graduate level study in the broad field of exercise and sport science. The program educates students for careers in adult fitness, corporate fitness settings, exercise physiology, athletic training, cardiac and physical rehabilitation, entrepreneurial pursuits in the fitness/wellness business world, etc. Additional postgraduate work and/or certification may be needed for some areas within this specialization.
The specialization in the Kinesiology Master of Education degree is designed to prepare students for careers in areas such as exercise physiology, cardiac rehabilitation, sport psychology, and motor control/development/learning, and measurement and evaluation.
Exercise physiologists tend to specialize into clinical areas such as cardiac rehabilitation, research based exercise physiology {such as performance and heat stress, performance and altitude, fluid balance, intracellular lactate mechanisms, motor functions, and plasticity of muscle fibers}, exercise testing and prescription of athletes, and development of physical fitness programs in prevention of disease and disability.
