Sports Health Science
Sport health scientists and exercise physiologists study physiological responses to exercise and the impact of movement - from elite athletes to individuals struggling with chronic conditions or disability, children and the elderly.
Emerging from the umbrella of sports medicine, sport science has grown into a multidisciplinary profession that includes exercise physiologists, cardiopulmonary specialists, athletic trainers, physical therapists, nutritionists, coaches, personal trainers and researchers. As primary care physicians increasingly prescribe exercise as a form of treatment, rehabilitation and even injury and disease prevention, sport scientists have become integral members of the health care team.
