Exercise Science
Pre-Test Questions
Course Introduction
Exercise Science explores the scientific principles underlying physical activity, fitness, and human movement. This course examines the physiological, biomechanical, and psychological responses to exercise, including how the body adapts to various training regimens and the role of exercise in health, prevention, and rehabilitation. Students will gain a foundational understanding of topics such as anatomy, kinesiology, nutrition, and exercise programming, preparing them for further study or careers in fields like fitness training, sports medicine, and physical therapy.
