Program Overview

In teaching, the Exercise and Sports Science program at University of South Carolina Aiken utilizes a student-centred learning environment where students are engaged in an atmosphere of critical inquiry.

During the program, students will have an introduction to the field of exercise and sports science, and an overview of the scope, history, principles, research issues, professional organizations and publications, and other current information important to professionals in this field. They will also learn about the functional anatomy and physiology of the human body, including basic cellular functions, tissue organization, integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. The laboratory will introduce the student to principles of anatomy and physiology as demonstrated by microscopic studies, animal dissections, and physiological experiments.

You will have the opportunity to study and practice emergency care procedures, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation and basic first aid, from which a nationally recognized certification can be obtained. Another area will be the study of nutrition as it impacts health, fitness, and sports performance. Particular emphasis is given to basic nutrition, diet analysis, weight control, special diets, eating disorders, and the use of ergogenic aids in sports.
