Sport and Exercise Sciences BSc

at University of Leeds

Sport and exercise science has an important role in society, ranging from improving sports performance in elite athletes to reducing the burden of disease associated with physical inactivity in modern lifestyles. By improving our understanding of how the body and mind respond and adapt to exercise, we can develop new research-based approaches to enhance performance and health.

In addition to being provided with a broad knowledge and understanding of the principal body systems, processes and functions in health and disease, you will have the opportunity to discover and explore individual areas in more depth such as exercise physiology, biomechanics, motor control, and sport and exercise psychology. You will explore how this knowledge may be applied to optimise sports performance, improve health and disease outcomes, and inform rehabilitation strategies.
