This course, Introduction to Exercise Research, will introduce students to the fundamental concepts, methods, and techniques used in studying exercise science. Exercise research provides essential insights across multiple fields, including physical therapy, athletic training, coaching, kinesiology, and sports science. A foundational knowledge in exercise research will allow students to critically evaluate existing studies, understand the principles behind experimental design, and appreciate the role of scientific research in advancing knowledge on health, performance, and physical rehabilitation. This course aims to equip students with the tools to investigate and analyze the impact of exercise on health and performance, setting the groundwork for more advanced studies in the field. This course will allow students to work on independent and/or ongoing group research projects.
