运动科学哲学博士-运动生理学

研究重点是运动，老龄化，特殊人群和战术人员（如执法，消防和军事）的前沿话题。实验室设施可以评估基因表达，线粒体功能，能量消耗，肌肉血流（多普勒超声）和海拔和温度对环境的影响（环境室）。运动科学博士学位是生物力学系与健康与运动学学院的一项联合计划。运动科学博士课程以人体运动的生理学，生物化学，生物物理学，运动控制与发展以及生物心理社会学为基础，旨在通过跨学科的临床和转化研究，采用基于证据的方法来改善运动功能和身体活动水平。解决问题的方法被用于跨年龄和健康范围的疾病预防，健康增强，身体康复和锻炼动机。
This track focuses on research in cutting edge topics in sport, aging, special populations, and tactical personnel such as law enforcement, fire and military. Laboratory facilities allow for the assessment of gene expression, mitochondrial function, energy expenditure, muscle blood flow (Doppler ultrasound), and environmental effects of altitude and temperature (environmental chamber). Courses will be taken in exercise physiology, advanced research methods, and statistics.<br>Based on the physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, motor control and development, and psychosociology of human movement, the Exercise Science doctoral program is aimed at improving movement function and physical activity level using evidence-based approaches through interdisciplinary clinical and translational research.<br>A problem-solving approach is used across the age and health spectrum for disease prevention, health enhancement, physical rehabilitation, and exercise motivation. The degree offers concentrations in Biomechanics, Motor Development and Control, Physiology of Exercise, and Physical Activity.<br>Career options include:<br>Academician, Scientist for federal agencies such as NASA or National Institutes of Health<br>Scientist for industries such as sport equipment manufacturing, nutrition, ergonomics, or research equipment<br>Laboratory director for hospitals or universities
