Exercise Science
"Exercise science is the study of how the human body responds to physical exercise. It draws on various disciplines, including biomechanics, sports nutrition, behavioral strategies, exercise program design, and sport psychology. Exercise science is a fast-paced and exciting option that will prepare students for entry-level careers in fitness, wellness, health promotion, human performance, and preventive and rehabilitative sciences."
