How do sport, exercise and physical activity benefit health and wellbeing? How do our body systems respond to acute exercise and adapt to training? What factors influence our participation in physical activity and ability to benefit from it? This course explores these issues by studying the body’s systems, their regulation and the effects of exercise.
First and foremost we aim to develop you as a scientist and then we explore sport and exercise. You’ll study biological sciences such as cell biology, genetics and molecular biology alongside sport and exercise physiology, nutrition, and sport and exercise psychology. This gives you knowledge of the disciplines underpinning Sport and Exercise Science, develops your knowledge of scientific methods and provides a basis for understanding the role of exercise in improving health and athletic performance.
You will be taught by international research leaders in their areas of expertise in sports nutrition, exercise physiology, genetics and epigenetics, molecular biology, neuromuscular control, as well as muscle metabolism in health and disease.
