Integrative exercise physiology is a subdiscipline of human physiology that focuses on cardiovascular, metabolic, and neuromuscular responses and adaptations to physical activity. Researchers in the field examine how these body systems coordinate to achieve human movement, and how the movement stimulates the body's adaptive processes in these systems. The Master of Science in Kinesiology with a concentration in Integrative Exercise Physiology trains students in pragmatic understandings of the field of exercise physiology, including in clinical, sport, and research settings. Students learn to develop and implement research-informed training programs and exercise prescriptions in order to promote and improve physical fitness and health in individuals. A strong foundation in biomedical research prepares future researchers and trains future health professionals to employ evidence-based practices in their work. It is these strengths that set Temple University's Integrative Exercise Physiology program apart: Renowned faculty are internationally recognized experts in their fields. Strong research activity ensures that graduates of the program are optimally prepared for future research-based academic training and careers in healthcare industries. A dynamic urban environment provides students with a wide range of opportunities for internships and practical experience in top-tier healthcare systems and rehabilitation centers across the Philadelphia region. An interdisciplinary approach to learning engages students with faculty and scholars across many disciplines, including athletic training, nursing, physical therapy, and public health, as well as facilitates inter-professional collaboration.
