Applied Sport Science is the study of human responses to sports. This involves the application of scientific principles to the promotion, maintenance and enhancement of sport and exercise-related behaviours.
Our programme is centred on four key disciplines:
* physiology
* biomechanics
* psychology
* skill acquisition
You will develop an understanding of the factors that influence participation and performance in sport and exercise.
