Exercise Science

Exercise science is the study of the bodily movements that contribute to human fitness, holistic wellness and longevity. While modern medicine has enabled people to live longer, many people believe that it has not necessarily helped to improve the quality of life of those who rely on conventional health care services. These people often seek out wellness professionals like exercise scientists who help them to gain and maintain the vibrant health that they crave.

Exercise physiology and exercise science are both fields of study that focus on improving the health and wellness of individuals and athletes.

Exercise science is a broader term that encompasses areas such as physical education, strength and training, human performance and sports nutrition, while exercise physiology primarily focuses on the body’s response to physical activity.
