How is the Exercise Science Major different from the Athletic Training Major at Mount Union?
The exercise science major is quite different from the athletic training program in many ways. Students in the exercise science major study the in-depth effects of exercise on a variety of populations (athletic populations, adolescents, elderly, and diseased populations). In essence, exercise is regarded as medicine that should be scientifically monitored and prescribed in carefully administered dosages. Athletic Trainers are concerned with the prevention and quality care of injuries and illnesses that may result from physical activity. For more information on the exercise science major click here.
