What is Sport Science?
Sport science is a field of work and study concerned with applying scientific principles and techniques to improve sporting performance.
Traditionally sport science has included physiology, psychology, and biomechanics but can include any scientific application to sport and the field has developed into areas such as technology and engineering, nutrition and diet, pharmacology, strength and conditioning, and performance analysis.
As sport has become more professional the demand for sports scientists, and therefore career opportunities in sport science and performance has grown dramatically. As sports teams and governing bodies search for the tiny margins that separate the best from the rest, this growth in opportunities for sport scientists to help athletes get fitter, stronger and faster seem set to continue.
