Summary
Exercise science is a multifaceted discipline with roots in many different natural science backgrounds.Most concepts associated with it can be made accessible and understandable to the most novice researcher. Students are exposed to knowledge relating to the discipline in the news, at school, during recreational sports, and in general dinner table conversation. This tends to make exercise science research less intimidating and more appealing to students of all backgrounds and majors than traditional sciences such as chemistry and biology. Even though this type of research can include complicated instrumentation that requires extensive training to operate, there are always aspects that benefit from undergraduate participation. In turn, exercise science investigations offer undergraduate researchers a level of accomplishment and responsibility that will directly impact future career aspirations.
