ABOUT THE PROGRAM IN APPLIED PHYSIOLOGY
The Applied (Exercise) Physiology program is part of the Movement Sciences and Education and Kinesiology Programs and offers Masters of Arts, Masters of Education, Doctor of Education and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. The Applied Physiology concentration involves the study of the integrative physiology of exercise, focusing on the acute and chronic adaptations to exercise across the lifespan. The effects of exercise training on sports performance and physical and mental health are emphasized. The program emphasizes the application of scientific evidence to the practice of exercise physiology. Students in the Applied Physiology Program study physical activity behavior, the physiological and psychological effects of acute and chronic exercise, how exercise influences physical and mental health, sports performance, and the promotion of physical activity in community, clinical, and public health settings.

ABOUT THE JOINT DEGREE PROGRAM IN NUTRITION AND EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY
With the increased interest in exercise, sports, and wellness nutrition, the Nutrition and Exercise Physiology Program trains graduate professionals who are nationally certified as a Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist (RDN), and who have expertise in dietary factors related to exercise for health and sports performance, a thorough grounding in exercise physiology, and skills in nutrition counseling and education that, collectively, provides the foundation for working with children, youth and athletes, in corporate wellness programs and health clubs, private practice, and with out-patient and community-based programs.
