Sport and Exercise Science

About this course

Sport and exercise science is the multidisciplinary study of human physical performance, combining physiology, biomechanics, and psychology to understand how the body moves, adapts, and responds to the demands of sport and exercise. It applies rigorous scientific methods to questions about training, nutrition, recovery, and the psychological factors that influence performance, and increasingly extends into public health contexts where the same understanding can inform the design of exercise interventions for the prevention and management of chronic disease. The three-year full-time Sport and Exercise Science programme at Aberystwyth University draws on the expertise of sport and exercise scientists who have worked with a range of organisations, teams, and individual athletes, from recreational participants to those who have competed successfully at European and world championship level.
