Exercise Science: The Discipline and Implications for Higher Education is a comprehensive text exploring the dynamic and evolving field of exercise science from a professional and academic perspective. This book provides a holistic view, moving beyond traditional coursework to address the real-world applications, professional pathways, and academic challenges facing the discipline today. As the Director of Exercise Science at my employing university, this book was developed with the following questions in mind: What do my students need to know to achieve their goals during their academic journey and once practicing in the field?; What is the state of Exercise Science in modern universities? and What do I need to know about this field to do my job to the best of my abilities? Divided into three sections, this book is an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to understand, enter, or advance within this vital and expanding field, offering practical insights, academic perspectives, and a glimpse into its future.
