Exercise Physiology If you’re interested in testing the limits of human performance and researching the impact aging, space flight, and diseases such as diabetes can have on the body’s performance, our master of science program in exercise physiology is for you. How are carbohydrates metabolized? What’s the proper fluid balance in athletes for peak performance? How can too much training affect runners? Our
exercise physiology program has sought answers to these issues and more. You’ll be able to gain hands-on experience and learn in our nationally renowned
Human Performance Lab.
