运动科学与健康促进系（ESHP）的总部位于Boca校园，并提供运动科学与健康促进方面的跨学科本科生和研究生课程。这些课程旨在为学生做好临床，公司，商业和/或社区体育健身和健康教育方面的职业准备。美国运动医学学院（ACSM）和美国国家强度与适应协会（NSCA）已审查了我们的本科课程，并提供了ESHP计划的国家认可。计划完成后，学生将准备参加健康/健身教练（HFI）专业领域的美国运动医学学院认证考试，美国国家强度和体适能协会认证的强度和体能专家（CSCS），或国家健康教育委员会认证考试
Department of Exercise Science & Health Promotion (ESHP) is headquartered on the Boca Campus and offers interdisciplinary undergraduate and graduate degrees in exercise science and health promotion. The ESHP programs are designed to prepare students for careers in clinical, corporate, and community/non-profit based physical fitness and health promotion, post graduate study in applied health sciences (e.g. physical therapy, physician assistant) as well as advanced study in human biology/physiology. Ultimately, whether in the role of practitioner or scientist the ESHP graduate is uniquely prepared to impact the health and well-being of their fellow citizens. Importantly, the impact of ESHP graduates includes the potential to reduce health care costs when those they touch adopt a healthy lifestyle and dramatically reduce the occurrence and severity of diseases (obesity, heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, cancer) associated with sedentary living.<br><br>Exercise science deals with the study of the immediate and long term effects of physical activity on the human body. Health promotion encompasses all of the components involved in the total wellbeing of an individual, exploring the social, spiritual, biological, emotional, physical, and environmental aspects of optimal health. Exercise Science and Health Promotion (ESHP) is a curriculum which covers a wide spectrum of issues involving human physiology and its proper physical and psychological maintenance. Additionally, the curriculum addresses various disease states and their responses to healthy life-style changes. The FAU ESHP program offers a wide variety of course work with an excellent foundation for all aspects of exercise science and health promotion.
