Sport and Exercise Science

About this course

Sport and exercise science is the applied scientific study of the body in motion and of how physical activity, training, and exercise influence human health, performance, and wellbeing. It draws on physiology, biomechanics, psychology, nutrition science, and sports medicine to develop a comprehensive understanding of how the body responds and adapts to the demands of exercise, and how those responses can be measured, optimised, and applied in sport, clinical, and public health contexts. It is a discipline that is simultaneously rigorous in its scientific foundations and directly relevant to practice across sport, health, and physical education. At Southampton Solent University, this programme combines a foundation year with a sandwich year in industry and work placement, making it one of the most accessible and professionally intensive pathways into the discipline available.
