Interdisciplinary study of physical activity

Sports science is a discipline that studies how the healthy human body works during exercise, and 👏 how sport and physical activity promote health and performance from cellular to whole body perspectives.

The study of sports science traditionally 👏 incorporates areas of physiology (exercise physiology), psychology (sport psychology), anatomy, biomechanics (sports biomechanics), biochemistry, and kinesiology.

Sports scientists and performance consultants 👏 are growing in demand and employment numbers, with the ever-increasing focus within the sporting world on achieving the best results 👏 possible.

Through the scientific study of sports, researchers have developed a greater understanding of how the human body reacts to exercise, 👏 training, different environments, and many other stimuli.

Origins of exercise physiology [ edit ]

Sports science can trace its origins to ancient 👏 Greece.

The noted ancient Greek physician Galen (131–201) wrote 87 detailed essays about improving health (proper nutrition), aerobic fitness, and strengthening 👏 muscles.[1][2]

New ideas upon the working and functioning of the human body emerged during the Renaissance as anatomists and physicians challenged 👏 the previously known theories.

[3] These spread with the implementation of the printed word, the result of Gutenberg's printing press in 👏 the 15th century.

[4] Allied with this was a large increase in academia in general, universities were forming all around the 👏 world.

[5] Importantly these new scholars went beyond the simplistic notions of the early Greek physicians, and shed light upon the 👏 complexities of the circulatory, and digestive systems.

[6] Furthermore, by the middle of the 19th century, early medical schools (such as 👏 the Harvard Medical School, formed 1782) began appearing in the United States, whose graduates went on to assume positions of 👏 importance in academia and allied medical research.[7]

Medical journal publications increased significantly in number during this period.

In 1898, three articles on 👏 physical activity appeared in the first volume of the American Journal of Physiology.

Other articles and reviews subsequently appeared in prestigious 👏 journals.

The German applied physiology publication, Internationale Zeitschrift fur Physiologie einschliesslich Arbeitphysiologie (1929–1940; now known as the European Journal of Applied 👏 Physiology and Occupational Physiology), became a significant journal in the field of research.

A number of key figures have made significant 👏 contributions to the study of sports science:Austin Flint, Jr.

, (1836–1915) One of the first American pioneer physicians, studied physiological responses 👏 to exercise in his influential medical textbooks.[8]

Edward Hitchcock, Jr.

, (1828–1911) Amherst College Professor of Hygiene and Physical Education, devoted his 👏 academic career to the scientific study of physical exercise, training and the body.

Coauthored 1860 text on exercise physiology.[9]

George Wells Fitz, 👏 M.D.

(1860–1934) Created the first departmental major in Anatomy, Physiology, and Physical Training at Harvard University in 1891.[10]

August Krogh (1874–1949) Won 👏 the 1920 Nobel prize in physiology for discovering the mechanism that controlled capillary blood flow in resting or active muscle.[11]

Per-Olof 👏 Åstrand (1922–2015) Professor at the Department of Physiology, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm.

Wrote a seminal paper which evaluated the physical working capacity 👏 of men and women aged 4–33 years.[12]

Study of sports science [ edit ]

A notable amount of research in the field 👏 of sports science is completed at universities or dedicated research centers.

[13] Higher-education degrees in Sports Science or Human Physiology are 👏 also becoming increasingly popular with many universities now offering both undergraduate, postgraduate and distance learning degrees in the discipline.

[14] Opportunities 👏 for graduates in these fields include employment as a Physical Education teacher, Dietician or Nutritionist, Performance Analyst, Sports coach, Sports 👏 therapist, Fitness center manager, Sports administrator, Strength and Conditioning specialist or retail manager of a Sports store.

Graduates may also be 👏 well-positioned to undertake further training to become an accredited Physiotherapist, Exercise Physiologist, Research Scientist and Sports Medical Doctor.

Sports science may 👏 also be useful for providing information on the aging body.

[15] Older adults are aware of the benefits of exercise, but 👏 many are not performing the exercise needed to maintain these benefits.

[16] Sports science provides a means of allowing older people 👏 to regain more physical competence without focusing on doing so for the purposes of anti-aging.

[15] Sports science can also provide 👏 a means of helping older people avoid falls and have the ability to perform daily tasks more independently.[15]

In Australia the 👏 majority of sports science research from 1983 to 2003 was done in laboratories and nearly half of the research was 👏 done with sub-elite or elite athletes.

[17] Over two-thirds of the research was done regarding four sports: rowing, cycling, athletics, and 👏 swimming.

[17] In America, sports play a big part of the American identity, however, sports science has slowly been replaced with 👏 exercise science.

[18] Sports science can allow athletes to train and compete more effectively at home and abroad.[18]

José Mourinho, a football 👏 manager who won UEFA Champions League twice, reflected his studies of sport science as "sometimes it is difficult to understand 👏 if it is sport or if it is science".[19]

Academic journals in sports science [ edit ]

Reproducibility [ edit ]

A 2018 👏 study criticized the field of exercise and sports science for insufficient replication studies, limited reporting of both null and trivial 👏 results, and insufficient research transparency.

[20] Statisticians have criticized sports science for common use of magnitude-based inference, a controversial statistical method 👏 which has allowed sports scientists to extract apparently significant results from noisy data where ordinary hypothesis testing would have found 👏 none.
