Recently I have switched my major to Kinesiology
(study of movement in the body) and have been researching possible
degrees/career paths that I can take with a degree in Kin. My most recent
interest has been exercise science and a possible PhD path. Being involved in
sports shapes a big part of why I’m considering exercise science, it gives me
the opportunity to stay involved and continue something I love. This degree
also provides a lot of options in career paths and further education.
Exercise Science is the study of movement in the human
body and the functional responses associated with movement. Exercise science
involves many things like nutrition/dietitian, understanding the physics of the
body, how bones and muscles react to physical excursion, and how injuries
effect the overall body.
Some of the options I am considering to pursue involve
one on one training and research of athletes, research specialist of collegiate
or professional teams, personal training, and exercise physiology. All of these
require certain paths of education starting with a basic undergraduate degree,
then on to a master’s degree, and some require a PhD.
In conclusion exercise science is just another career
path I am interested in pursuing. As of now I am unsure what exactly I will be
doing in my future, but I have many options in mind like exercise science.
