Sport and Exercise Science is concerned with one of the most fundamental aspects of life – physical activity. Physical activity is vital in daily living, leisure and recreation, and athletic pursuits. With greater community awareness of the importance of a physically active lifestyle, employment opportunities in the sport and exercise areas have increased. Sport and exercise science is now firmly established as a service industry related to the health and physical activity needs of all sectors of the community (eg. athletes, children, coronary patients, corporate executives, the aged). As employment opportunities have broadened, so too has the demand for professionals who can reliably provide sport and exercise science services to the community.

JCU’s Institute of Sport and Exercise Science provides a comprehensive program. Graduates can pursue careers in health and fitness, sport development, sport coaching, and the fitness industries.
