Human Performance
Offered at IU Bloomington by School of Public Health.
About
Whether you are interested in researching how exercise affects elite athletes, older adults, cancer survivors, children with disabilities, or other populations, our doctoral degree in human performance can be customized to fit your interests.
You'll complete coursework in exercise physiology, physical activity, cognitive and sensory motor control, motor learning, sport psychology, or biomechanics, as well as a minor outside of the kinesiology department.
Most importantly, you will work closely with a faculty mentor to conduct rigorous research in any one of our research areas or collaborate between multiple research areas. You and your faculty mentor will design a program of study and conduct independent research, including your dissertation.
Before you apply for the program, we recommend that you communicate with a potential faculty advisor to confirm that your interests match.
