SLIDE 1: The purpose of this discussion is to define the nature of sport science and to assist the reader in discerning the difference between sport science and exercise science. From the outset it is essential to understand that most scientists believing that they are sport scientists are really not. While many exercise scientists carry out some sport science research or related research from time to time does not make them a sport scientist.
It is truly refreshing to see progress being made toward the development of ‘Sport Science’ as a distinct and separate discipline from ‘Exercise Science’.
