It is from the perspective that post-graduate students can study physical activity (including sports) using a biomechanical, psychological, sociological, pedagogical or physiological approach. Consequently, all of the research conducted in the Department is focused on physical activity in terms of its contribution to related fields of sports medicine, health and exercise.
