The Exercise Physiology major focuses on the scientific study of how the body functions during physical activity, exercise, and human movement. It includes instruction in muscular and skeletal anatomy, fuel utilization, the cellular basis of muscle contraction, the neuromuscular physiology of specific activities and exercise, the neuromechanics of human movement, the physiology of injury, the effects of disabilities and disease, and rehabilitative methods to regain normal movement patterns. Physical activity and exercise’s impact on an individual’s capacity to do work, improve physical performance, and enhance overall health by decreasing disease likelihood makes studying this major rewarding.
