This program builds upon the fundamental scientific fields of sports and exercise science - specifically physiology and biomechanics. It addresses three key questions: How does the human body react to various forms of exercise? How can we optimize training outcomes for athletic performance? And how can physical activity help prevent and manage illnesses?

The sports, exercise, and wellness industries rank among the biggest service sectors both in Ireland and worldwide, encompassing businesses of all sizes. Furthermore, sports organizations - both professional and amateur - represent major community engagement platforms in every region. These sectors all gain from scientific expertise in sports, exercise, and physical activity to enhance health and performance, while also creating innovative products and services for athletes.

This program caters to students aiming to learn how to maximize elite athletic performance, as well as those seeking to promote physical activity and exercise for improving public health across all age groups and ability levels.
