Master of Science - Physiology and Nutrition of Sport and Exercise

Loughborough University's Master of Science in Physiology and Nutrition of Sport and Exercise is designed to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the physiological, nutritional and metabolic demands of exercise and training, and their implications for participation in sport and for the maintenance of good health.

The programme offers in-depth study across a range of areas within exercise physiology and sport and exercise nutrition. Practical sessions are taught in specialist teaching laboratories, and students will also use these facilities, as well as research laboratories, while undertaking their research project.

The theoretical content and practical sessions delivered in sports nutrition and exercise physiology on this course will allow students to develop the fundamental understanding and the ability to apply and translate this knowledge into practice within the sport, exercise and health sectors, enabling them to transition into a highly adept researcher or practitioner.

Students will be taught by the internationally renowned academics from the fields of exercise physiology and sport and exercise nutrition, as well as receiving guest sessions from expert professional practitioners from the worlds of performance sport and clinical health.
