Exercise Science Exam Review
Course Introduction
Exercise Science is an interdisciplinary field that explores the physiological, biomechanical, and psychological principles underlying human movement and physical activity. This course examines how the body responds and adapts to exercise across various populations, emphasizing anatomy, exercise physiology, nutrition, biomechanics, and motor learning. Students will gain foundational knowledge in designing and assessing exercise programs, understanding the benefits of physical activity for health and performance, and applying scientific concepts to real-world fitness, rehabilitation, and sport settings. The course prepares students for further study or careers in health, fitness, and allied health professions.
