随着人们越来越多地了解运动和体育锻炼在预防和治疗疾病和医疗状况中的关键作用，并鼓励健康从业者在设计治疗计划和健康干预措施时考虑进行运动，因此，为有资格的个人提供了机会了解该领域的研究。为响应这一趋势，我们开发了医学运动硕士，以大学在体育活动和健康方面获得国际认可的研究为基础。运动锻炼医学计划针对的是具有运动科学和/或体育活动背景的人士，他们希望增强其科学知识和技能，以有效地促进将运动作为处方药和预防性疗法，尤其是对高血压患者，糖尿病，肺，肾和其他心脏疾病，或有代谢综合征风险的疾病。
Our MSc in Exercise as Medicine will equip you with the knowledge and skills to promote the prescription of exercise, both as a preventative measure and as a treatment/therapy. As the crucial role of exercise and physical activity in the treatment of diseases and medical conditions is increasingly understood, health practitioners are encouraged to consider exercise prescriptions when designing treatment plans and health interventions. Just as the exercise medicine global health initiative continues to grow, so do the opportunities for well-qualified individuals with an understanding of research in this area. The MSc in Exercise as Medicine has been developed in response to this trend, drawing on the University's internationally recognised research on physical activity and health. The programme is aimed at individuals with a background in exercise science and/or physical activity who wish to enhance their scientific knowledge and skills to be able to effectively promote the uptake of exercise, particularly for patients with hypertension, diabetes, pulmonary, renal and cardiac conditions, or those at risk of metabolic syndrome. This MSc will therefore educate a new, highly skilled group of allied health professionals with the ability to work alongside clinicians and practitioners to manage the epidemic of lifestyle-related diseases and conditions. Based in the National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine – East Midlands, you will be taught in high quality teaching environments and have access to state-of-the-art laboratories, designed to facilitate the transfer of cutting-edge research to front-line support and care. You will be exposed to a range of specialist equipment and technology to facilitate your development. The NCSEM is an Olympic legacy project delivering education, research and clinical services in sport, exercise and physical activity. It aims to apply world-class expertise to policies and practice that will benefit the health and wellbeing of the nation – from everyday people at risk of ill health through to elite athletes.
