Sport & Exercise Science

About this course

Sport and exercise science applies the methods of biology, physics and psychology to the study of human movement and performance. It asks how the body produces energy, how muscles respond to training, how the brain controls movement, how psychological factors influence competition, and how exercise affects health across the lifespan. It is a discipline with both scientific rigour and direct practical relevance, underpinning the work of sports scientists, physiologists, coaches, and health professionals around the world. At Edinburgh Napier you will study this four-year full-time programme, developing expertise across the three core areas that define the discipline: exercise physiology, biomechanics, and sports psychology. Exercise physiology examines how the cardiovascular, respiratory and metabolic systems respond to physical demands and how training induces adaptation. Biomechanics an
