Sport and Exercise Science

It’s well recognised that participation in sport and exercise is important for health and wellbeing as well as sports performance.

Find out more about the effect of sport and exercise on the human body and human performance. You can focus on athletic conditioning, exercise physiology or sports biomechanics, and learn how to create exercise programmes based on people’s individual needs.
