Exercise Physiology is a branch of biology that studies the responses and physiological adaptations to different types of physical activity and sport for all people and athletes, as well as the effects of various factors such as the environment and nutrition on the magnitude of these responses and adaptations. The scope of study in Exercise Physiology and applied sport medicine is very broad and includes several subfields, which can be summarized as exercise physiology for all, exercise physiology in sport for all (functional exercise physiology), elite sport physiology, sport physiology, clinical exercise physiology, and sport nutrition. These areas create diverse opportunities for knowledge development, entrepreneurship, and professional practice. 

The purpose of the master’s and PhD programs in the Department of Sport Physiology is to train elite and specialized professionals in sport medicine so that they can engage in education, planning, implementation, problem analysis, and research in this field. In addition, they can use this knowledge to promote the health of society, patients, and elite athletes.
