Exercise Science Minor

YOU ARE BOUVÉ

Understand the body’s response to exercise.

Broaden your understanding of the human body and the role that exercise and physical activity play in cardiovascular and musculoskeletal function improvement, disease prevention, and rehabilitation.

The Exercise Science minor is open to undergraduate students from any major across the university wishing to expand their understanding of the role of exercise in health.

Bouvé students can apply their physiology knowledge to understand the muscular, neuromuscular, cardiovascular, ventilatory, endocrine, and metabolic responses to acute exercise and the physiological adaptations to chronic exercise and physical activity.

Understanding the effects of exercise on the human body could be of benefit to biology majors, or engineering students wishing to pursue future careers in bioengineering.
