Sports science (also sport science) is a discipline that studies how the healthy human body
works during exercise, and how sport and physical activity promote health from cellular to whole body
perspectives. The study of sports science traditionally incorp
orates areas of physiology (exercise
physiology), psychology (sport psychology), anatomy, biomechanics, biochemistry and biokinetics. Sports
scientists and performance consultants are growing in demand and employment numbers, with the ever
-
increasing focus
within the sporting world on achieving the best results possible. Through the study of
science and sport, researchers have developed a greater understanding on how the human body reacts to
exercise, training, different environments and many other stimuli.
