The Exercise Physiology major prepares students for the application of exercise physiology in health and fitness, clinical diagnostics, rehabilitation, and performance settings. This program also prepares students for graduate programs in exercise physiology and health related disciplines. Students often pursue certification through the American College of Sports Medicine and the National Strength and Conditioning Association to enhance employment opportunities. The program curriculum meets most admission requirements for the Physical Therapy program and is an integral part of the Athletic Training curriculum.
This degree includes a solid background in basic sciences to allow the student to develop an understanding of how the body responds and adapts to exercise stimuli. Students also develop the applied skills to evaluate physical fitness, and to design and administer population-appropriate exercise prescriptions.
Students interested in the Exercise Physiology program will enter Ohio University with a premajor code of ND8839 (Preexercise Physiology).
