Overview

About this Degree

Study in Exercise Physiology may center on understanding optimal performance such as that attained by elite and highly trained athletes and on performances and physiological adaptations of individuals with one or more chronic diseases. Exercise physiology has remained integrative, examining how the failure or enhancement of one physiological system can influence another. It also considers how the environment limits the body during exercise through such means as heat, cold, humidity, and altitude exposure. The Exercise Physiology program at Mississippi State University is designed to prepare students for careers as exercise physiologists serving in fitness centers, hospital-based wellness and clinical rehabilitation centers, schools, and universities. In addition, the program prepares students for advanced graduate study leading to the doctoral degree.

For information about graduate study in the Department of Kinesiology, contact Graduate Coordinator Dr. Adam Knight. Students desiring to pursue a master's degree in exercise physiology may also wish to contact members of the exercise physiology graduate faculty individually to discuss their research interests: Dr. Stamatis Agiovlasitis, Dr. Stanley Brown, Dr. Harish Chander, Dr. Chih-Chia Chen, Dr. Megan Holmes, Dr. Adam Knight, Dr. John Lamberth, Dr. Zhujun Pan, Dr. JohnEric Smith, and Dr. Benjamin Wax .
