Welcome to the Department of Exercise Science
Exercise scientists study the relationships among exercise participation, physical activity and human health and focus on the development and delivery of preventive and rehabilitative physical activity programs that promote health and prevent disease.
Career opportunities exist in academic institutions, hospitals and other medical/clinical settings, research laboratories, physical therapy facilities, rehabilitation facilities, health and fitness centers and public health agencies.
The mission of the Department of Exercise Science is to expand and disseminate the body of knowledge concerning the relationships between exercise participation, physical activity and human health.
