Sports science is a discipline that studies how the healthy human body works during exercise, and how sport and physical ⚾️ activity promote health and performance from cellular to whole body perspectives.
The study of sports science traditionally incorporates areas of physiology ⚾️ (exercise physiology), psychology (sport psychology), anatomy, biomechanics (sports biomechanics), biochemistry, and kinesiology.
Sports scientists and performance consultants are growing in demand ⚾️ and employment numbers, with the ever-increasing focus within the sporting world on achieving the best results possible.
Through the scientific study ⚾️ of sports, researchers have developed a greater understanding of how the human body reacts to exercise, training, different environments, and ⚾️ many other stimuli.
