Department of Exercise Physiology

About


The department of exercise physiology deals with scientific knowledge concerning the mechanisms of the human body. This department has a great background in sport, with its faculty members and researchers, expert in biomechanics and physiology. The department of exercise physiology aims to train skilled fitness coaches focusing on promoting the role of exercise in health sustainability. The programs offered by the department pay attention to physical activities, diseases prevention and treatment as well as patients’ rehabilitation.

Majors and Programs


Objectives of the program: 

M.Sc. program focuses on the science concerned with the practical issues of human movement through science of training and periodization in different sport disciplines. This program aims to increase the understanding about human performance in sports activities, improving field performance and minimizing injuries. The program also intends to attract students enthusiastic in developing their career as an athlete, coach or a researcher. The program is carried out by motivated lecturers and researchers with the cutting-edge knowledge of research, especially in health, nutrition and performance.
PhD program in exercise physiology focuses on the understanding of the effect of exercise on muscular, cardiovascular, and neurohumoral systems that lead to changes in functional capacity and strength due to different types and modalities of training. The effect of training on human body has been considered as the increase in metabolism or the reaction to the adaptive body responses resulted from exercises.
