About
The Faculty of Sport Science and Health is an academic unit dedicated to advancing knowledge, innovation, and professional practice in sport, physical activity, and health sciences. The faculty integrates education, research, and community engagement to address contemporary challenges related to human movement, performance optimization, disease prevention, rehabilitation, and health promotion.
Through interdisciplinary programs grounded in biological, behavioral, and social sciences, the faculty prepares graduates with strong scientific foundations, ethical awareness, and applied competencies. Students are trained to design, implement, and evaluate evidence-based interventions that enhance physical performance, support lifelong physical activity, and improve individual and population health.
The faculty supports high-quality research in areas such as exercise physiology, biomechanics, sport psychology, coaching science, physical education, public health, and wellness management. By collaborating with healthcare institutions, sport organizations, schools, and industry partners, the Faculty of Sport Science and Health contributes to the development of healthy, active societies and the advancement of professional practice at national and international levels.
