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.
