Exercise and sports science focuses on the integration of exercise and physical activity into healthcare, sports performance, injury prevention and rehabilitation. It uses knowledge and techniques from the areas of biomedical science, physiology, biomechanics, nutrition, psychology and sport assessment to improve performance. Areas of study include performance analysis, exercise and health, physical activity, exercise metabolism, injury prevention and rehabilitation, biomechanics, motor learning, skill acquisition, and exercise prescriptions for a range of health conditions. You will gain an understanding of the difference between exercise for health and exercise for sport performance. RMIT is a leader in exercise and sports science education and research. You will gain practical experience working with RMIT’s industry partners and have access to specialized laboratories, playing fields and the Bundoora Netball and Sports Centre.
