From weekend warriors to suburban families to professional athletes, too many people are constantly on the lookout for the next best health and fitness “craze.” They jump from one pursuit to the next — new diets, gym memberships, mobile apps, five-step methods — all in hopes of losing weight, getting stronger, feeling fit, or gaining new athletic skills. What they need instead is someone who understands exercise as medicine and sport science through and through. Someone who can help them avoid the craze and make a plan. Someone with a deeper understanding of biomechanics, physiology, and human performance to help them improve their lives top to bottom.
Learn what it takes to be the professional others need to improve athletic performance, recover from injury, or simply improve their overall health with the Master of Science in Exercise and Sport Science from Keiser University.
