Sport and Exercise Science

About this course

Sport and exercise science applies the principles of biology, physics and psychology to understanding how the human body performs, adapts and recovers under physical demand. It is a discipline that draws on physiology, biomechanics and psychology in roughly equal measure, exploring everything from the cellular mechanisms of muscle contraction to the psychological strategies that help athletes manage pressure and sustain motivation. As scientific approaches to performance, health and physical activity have become central to sport at every level, the discipline has grown rapidly in both academic rigour and professional relevance. At the University of Northampton, this part-time programme covers the full breadth of the discipline in a format that allows you to study while managing other commitments. You will engage with biomechanics, exploring how movement is produced and how forces act on
