The flexibility of our programs will help you create an individualized educational experience that reflects who you are, while allowing you to choose a rewarding career path in a range of fields.
As one of only a few departments in the country that combines exercise and nutrition sciences in a school of public health, we offer unique academic and research opportunities.
You’ll work with researchers throughout the school and the university—a multi-disciplinary approach to better understand the link between exercise, nutrition and disease prevention.
You'll be prepared to help improve the health of individuals, as well as public health, in careers in clinical research, fitness, athletic performance, rehabilitation or health promotion.
This project will determine the magnitude of increases in core body temperature or reductions in body fluids incurred in a warm and humid disabled Pressurized Rescue Module scenario at sea level and at depth (20 feet of seawater) for up to 24 hours.
This randomized controlled trial study will determine the efficacy of an alternative cooling method for exertional heat stroke patients in the wilderness.
This study will use multiple levels of analysis to determine mechanisms by which amylin, a pancreatic-and-brain-derived peptide, acts in the mesolimbic reward system of the brain to reduce body weight and decrease food intake.
This project will examine the use of HOWI therapy for concussion management and determine if face cooling and/or the cold pressor test are potential objective biomarkers of concussion.
This project examines the effects of Respiratory Muscle Training (RMT) on performance during topside operations at altitude and during diving at altitude.
This study will investigate the role of the carotid body chemoreceptors in ventilatory control during hyperbaric exposures when blood oxygen content is elevated.
