Sport and Exercise Science

About this course

Sport and exercise science is the systematic study of how the human body responds and adapts to physical activity, exercise, and sport. It is a discipline that combines physiology, psychology, biomechanics, and nutrition to understand athletic performance and to promote health and wellbeing across the population. The field ranges from the elite end of sport, where marginal gains are pursued through data-driven training and recovery protocols, to public health applications, where exercise is increasingly recognised as medicine. At the University of Suffolk you will study across three years on a full-time programme. The curriculum covers exercise physiology, including how the cardiovascular, respiratory, and musculoskeletal systems respond to training and fatigue, alongside sports biomechanics, which examines how movement is produced and how it can be optimised or made safer.
