Exercise Science & Training

["General DescriptionAt the intersection between science and practice, qualified professionals with different skills are needed, especially to put the conceptual development, planning and dissemination of physical activity, training, and other lifestyle processes (e.g. sleep, nutrition) into practice.The development, implementation, and evaluation of exercise and training to maintain and improve performance and health are important international research topics in different populations – from sedentary individuals to (high) performance athletes.The aim of this Master's programme is to qualify graduate students to design, implement, and evaluate (advanced) evidence-informed frameworks for different target groups and individuals to regain, improve or maintain health or performance.Target GroupThe Master's programme in "Exercise Science & Training" (MSc) aims at individuals who have a strong affinity to the interface between science and evidence-informed exercise practice in different populations. Students should have a special interest in scientific work as well as in training practice and lifestyle factors related to health (e.g. physical activity, nutrition, sleep), fitness and/or competitive sports.QualificationsThe aim of the Master's programme is to provide the following:(1) students with in-depth knowledge of current models, theories, and methods in the context of sports and exercise science(2) skills to structure and critically assess methods and technologies to design, implement, and evaluate training and lifestyle frameworks/concepts related to performance and health"]
