From rehabilitation to podium finishes, and all the active pursuits between, athletes of any ability learn how to move their bodies in the healthiest ways possible thanks to the study of exercise physiology. At FLC, you’ll enjoy access to internships, the on-campus Health & Human Performance Lab, and opportunities to conduct original research with professional and everyday athletes.
