该双学位课程将运动科学与公共卫生的核心课程结合在一起。运动科学的核心内容从心理学，解剖学，生理学，运动控制和生物力学的角度为人体如何运作提供了广泛的知识基础。公共卫生的核心内容为决定社区和人口健康状况的因素提供了背景知识，以及如何塑造这些因素以改善健康状况。户外休闲的研究使这一核心知识基础可以通过各种设置在社区和整个人群中应用，并使学生了解增加基于自然的游戏和参与的需求。当代的研究非常有力，强调了自然环境的重要性及其对健康和福祉的贡献。参加这些活动还为参与者提供了参与风险评估，安全管理和增强抵御能力的活动
This double degree combines core curricula from Exercise Science with that of Applied Public Health. Exercise Science core content provides an extensive knowledge base of how the human body works, from a psychological, anatomical, physiological, motor control and biomechanical perspective. Applied Public Health core content delivers a background in factors that determine health at the community and population level, and how these can be shaped to effect improvements in health. The studies in Outdoor Recreation enable the application of this core knowledge base in the community and across populations through various settings, and allow students to understand the need for increased nature based play and engagement. There is a strong body of contemporary research that highlights the importance of the natural environments and their contribution to health and wellbeing.
