Sports science is a discipline that studies how the healthy human body works during exercise, and how sport and physical 馃捀 activity promote health and performance from cellular to whole body perspectives.

The study of sports science traditionally incorporates areas of physiology 馃捀 (exercise physiology), psychology (sport psychology), anatomy, biomechanics (sports biomechanics), biochemistry, and kinesiology.

Sports scientists and performance consultants are growing in demand 馃捀 and employment numbers, with the ever-increasing focus within the sporting world on achieving the best results possible.

Through the scientific study 馃捀 of sports, researchers have developed a greater understanding of how the human body reacts to exercise, training, different environments, and 馃捀 many other stimuli.
