Master of Science in Exercise Physiology

Baylor University

Baylor University's master's program in Exercise Physiology is acknowledged as a STEM program according to the Carnegie classification. Exercise physiology is the scientific study of acute physiological responses and chronic adaptations to a wide range of exercise conditions. Exercise physiologists:Use exercise as a non-invasive means to investigate changes in physiologic systems, organs, tissues, cells, organelles and moleculesStudy the effect of exercise on pathology and the mechanisms by which exercise can reduce or reverse disease progressionDiscover health and fitness benefits from different doses and types of physical activity and exercise.Advances in sports performance, recovery from intense and prolonged training and adaptations to extreme environmental conditions can be largely attributed to the field of exercise physiology.Exercise physiology provides a strong academic foundation for individuals interested in careers in science, medicine, pharmacy, physical therapy, cardiac rehabilitation, diabetes and weight management, lifestyle behavior changes, sports physiology, coaching and other health- and fitness-related professions.
