运动科学理学学士

卫生，人类绩效和娱乐系提供运动科学理学学士学位。运动科学是对运动以及相关的生理和功能反应和/或适应的研究。运动科学家必须了解运动引起的生理反应的科学基础。除核心课程外，学生还完成临床或非临床重点领域以及实习和学生研究项目。尽管不是必需的，但许多学生还选择完成辅修课程。运动科学计划的目标是培养能够在与运动不活跃和/或不良生活方式有关的疾病的斗争中贡献知识的顶尖人才，并开展具有开创性的学生和教职员工研究，以教育医学<br> <br>匹兹堡州立大学的应用生理实验室（APL）是由学生和研究驱动的教育中心，致力于为
Exercise Science is the study of movement and the associated functional responses and adaptations. Exercise scientists must understand the scientific basis underlying exercise-induced physiological responses. Students pursuing the degree of Bachelor of Science with a major in Exercise Science will complete courses in theory and practice of exercise testing and prescription. In addition to the core and recommended electives, students may choose a minor although one is not required. A minimum grade point average of 3.00 is required within the core and emphasis area of the Exercise Science program. Students completing the program will be qualified to sit for the Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Group Exercise Instructor, Certified Health Fitness Specialist Exams offered by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). In addition, students completing 600 hours in a clinical experience program are qualified to sit for the Certified Clinical Exercise Specialist exam through the ACSM. Students are also qualified to sit for the National Strength and Conditioning Association's Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist or Certified Personal Trainer Exams upon completion of the program.
