Biomechanics and neuromotor control

Provides advanced knowledge for understanding how the human nervous system controls movement and how the neurological disease affects motor function. Students will focus on the application of the laws of physics to the motion of biological systems.

Exercise physiology

The study of issues related to acute and chronic effects of physical activity on human physiological systems and health. Including how fundamental concepts of human energetics and mechanics apply to exercise, sport, physical exertion, and health promotion.

Perceptual-motor control and learning

Focuses on movement skills and how they are learned and controlled over the human lifespan.

Physical activity and health promotion

Intended to provide students with advanced study in physical activity and health promotion and disease prevention, as well as study designs from an epidemiological approach.

Sport and exercise psychology

Explores the thoughts, feelings, and actions of people in physical activity contexts. Research focuses on participants of competitive sport, exercise and fitness, sports medicine and rehabilitation, physical education, and health and wellness.

Sport management

Concentrates on the theoretical and practical dimensions of the management of athletic events, sports teams and facilities, and the sporting process.

Sport sociology

Focuses on the scientific study of human behavior and social organization in the sport context. The primary objective is to attempt to identify, describe, and explain the role and relationship of sport in society.
