What is sport and exercise science?
Sport and exercise science is a multidisciplinary field that studies human performance, physical activity, and exercise. It applies scientific principles to understand how the body responds to exercise, improve performance, prevent injuries, and promote overall health. This field is part of UniSQ's Nursing and Allied Health suite of degrees and encompasses areas such as physiology, biomechanics, psychology, nutrition, and motor control.
What is the difference between sport science and exercise science?
Sports science degrees primarily focuses on enhancing athletic performance and optimising sports-specific skills through disciplines like biomechanics, exercise physiology, and sports psychology. An exercise science degree, on the other hand, has a broader scope, examining the physiological and psychological responses to exercise in various populations. It encompasses areas such as exercise physiology, biomechanics, and chronic disease management through exercise. While sport science targets athletic performance, exercise science explores the effects of exercise on overall health and fitness in diverse groups.  
How does sport and exercise science contribute to public health?
Professionals in the sport and exercise field work on preventing and managing chronic diseases by designing exercise programs and personalised fitness plans. They also focus on injury prevention and rehabilitation, employing techniques to minimise sports-related injuries and aid in recovery. Sport and exercise science recognises the positive impact of physical activity on mental health and well-being, contributing to stress reduction and the prevention and management of mental health conditions.
Will I have opportunities for practical experience while studying?
