Students discover that exercise scientists study how the body works to perform different tasks such as jumping, running, climbing, and lifting heavy things. Exercise science explores how the body works, how exercise changes the body, and how the body uses food. Exercise scientists want to find out the best way to ride a bike, the best way for a swimmer to eat, the best way to hike a mountain, and how to help us become strong, stay healthy, and win races.
