体育活动与健康是一门新兴学科，其目标是通过在各种人群中进行体育锻炼来促进健康和预防慢性病。体育活动与健康的重点领域旨在为学生提供体育活动，健康促进和疾病预防方面的高级研究，以及通过流行病学方法进行的研究设计。重点领域将涵盖各种课程，包括体育活动流行病学，运动生理学，运动心理学，运动科学和统计学，它们为理解和开展该领域的研究提供了坚实的基础。该领域的研究工作旨在验证新兴技术，以评估体育活动，新兴技术（例如，主动视频游戏，虚拟现实）对个人的健康状况（例如，心肺健康，运动技能）的影响），知觉/行为（例如晕动病）
Physical Activity and Health is an emerging discipline with the goal of promoting health and preventing chronic diseases through physical activity promotion in various populations. The emphasis area in Physical Activity and Health is intended to provide students with advanced study in physical activity and health promotion and disease prevention, as well as study designs from an epidemiological approach. The emphasis area will cover a variety of courses, including physical activity epidemiology, exercise physiology, exercise psychology, movement science, and statistics, which provide a solid foundation sufficient to understand and conduct research in this field. Research efforts in this area are directed at validating the emerging technologies in assessing physical activity, effects of emerging technologies (i.e., active video games, virtual reality) on individuals health outcomes (i.e., cardiorespiratory fitness, motor skills) and perception/action (i.e., motion sickness), and the associations between physical activity and various outcomes (i.e., cognitive functions, biomarkers) of aging and cancer.
