Supporting individuals at close to maximal effort requires specialized knowledge and skills. The BS program in Sports Science and Performance Programming prepares students to work with participants in sports, occupational and tactical environments to maximize their potential. Students learn the complexities of performance assessment which can enable careers in sport science, sports medicine or biomechanics.
The National Strength and Conditioning Association has identified a need for sports performance and tactical performance specialists to be more knowledgeable about human physiology, movement mechanics and the technologies used to provide feedback. Graduates understand how to push the limits of performance as well as the stress the body undergoes during training, enabling them to plan successful exercise and recovery programs.
