They will acquire abilities to plan, design and execute practical activities using appropriate techniques and procedures. Sports scientists are also able to make correlations between different physical activities and biological human structure and function.Career opportunities for graduates include jobs like: physical education teacher, nutritionist, performance analyst, sports coach/therapist, fitness centre manager, strength and conditioning specialist.
