运动科学博士学位是生物力学系与健康与运动学学院的一项联合计划。运动科学博士课程以人体运动的生理学，生物化学，生物物理学，运动控制与发展以及生物心理社会学为基础，旨在通过跨学科的临床和转化研究，采用基于证据的方法来改善运动功能和身体活动水平。解决问题的方法被用于跨年龄和健康范围的疾病预防，健康增强，身体康复和锻炼动机。
The Doctorate in Biomechanics and Kinesiology is a joint program between the Department of Biomechanics and the School of Health and Kinesiology. Based on the physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, motor control and development, and psychosociology of human movement, the Exercise Science doctoral program is aimed at improving movement function and physical activity level using evidence-based approaches through interdisciplinary clinical and translational research. A problem-solving approach is used across the age and health spectrum for disease prevention, health enhancement, physical rehabilitation, and exercise motivation. The degree offers concentrations in Biomechanics, Motor Development and Control, Physiology of Exercise, and Physical Activity.<br>Career options include:<br>Academician, Scientist for federal agencies such as NASA or National Institutes of Health<br>Scientist for industries such as sport equipment manufacturing, nutrition, ergonomics, or research equipment<br>Laboratory director for hospitals or universities
