This program replaces the previously offered:
Master of Exercise and Sport Science (Clinical Exercise Science) and
Master of Exercise and Sport Science (Sports Performance)

This course will provide advanced study in the broad discipline of exercise and sport science. Through selection of appropriate elective units, students will gain skills that may be applied to both elite athlete performance as well as more clinically oriented studies.

The course is designed to equip students with an in-depth understanding of applied
physiology, biomechanics, and motor learning together with the skills to conduct exercise testing and prescription for symptomatic and asymptomatic population groups and elite athletes. Elective studies can be in the areas of ageing, nutrition, public health and psychosocial attributes.

A distinguishing feature of the Masters of Exercise and Sport Science is that students have frequent access to laboratory facilities and equipment. Graduates will have practical skill in laboratory testing of exercise performance which can be applied to their area of specialisation.
