Overview

Sport science is the scientific study of how the body and mind cope with, handle and learn from the stresses of performance in sport and exercise. Physiology investigates, in particular, the impact of exercise on the structures and mechanisms of the body during both acute and chronic physical activity. It is important to understanding exercise concepts such as training, fitness, endurance and fatigue: from the molecular and cellular level to the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems.

Sport Science and Physiology offers a fantastic insight into the various processes of the body during physical activity. Through the core disciplines of exercise physiology, biomechanics, motor control, sport and exercise psychology, you will develop strong transferable skills that will place you in an excellent position for a wide range of graduate careers.
