Exercise science is defined by the National Library of Medicine as “The scientific study of human movement performed to maintain or improve physical fitness.” The NLM includes athletic trainers, exercise psychologists, fitness trainers, and those in the cardiac rehabilitation field as being a part of the exercise science field. This isn’t an exhaustive list, however, as there are a number of career fields beyond this scope and even within it.
