Grounded in Research

With a strong research foundation, our program explores advanced topics in human physical activity, particularly as movement, exercise, and sport apply to health promotion and disease prevention. You'll work closely with faculty to develop an in-depth understanding of how the body works and how it contributes to overall well-being.

State-of-the-Art Facilities

Human Performance Lab

The versatile Human Performance Lab serves as the primary research space for faculty, the exercise physiology classroom and the workshop for experiments in conditioning and speed, exercise and chronic disease, and lifetime fitness. Of course, the human skeleton model, which has literally been hanging around longer than anyone can remember, moved right along with the students into Human Anatomy and Physiology Lab.
