What study Sports Related subjects?
Sport is big business in our world, and sport and exercise are key areas of a healthy lifestyle. There are many different degrees and career opportunities available in the general area of sports and exercise. The kinds of degrees cover a broad range of areas both ‘on and off the field’ from the sports business, high performance sports, coaching, sport development, to sport and exercise science or sport and physical education. They can generally be split into two categories:
- Sports Science in which a key part of sports related courses is learning about how a healthy body works, how to optimize movement, exercise, and its relationship to health. These include looking at high performance sports and related subjects such as nutrition and sports psychology.
- Sports Management which are more related to the business aspects of professional sport such as management, marketing, and promotion.
