SPORTS MEDICINE The inter-disciplinary design of the Sports Medicine concentration offered by the Howard University Department of Health, Human Performance and Leisure Studies will expose students to an academic program specifically designed to gain admission into medical school. The Sports Medicine concentration enables students to develop a working knowledge of the effects of exercise on the structure and function of varying physiological systems. Sports medicine is based on the premise that regular physical activity is important in regulating the physiological, and biochemical factors in disease prevention and treatment. |
