Overview
With integrated disciplinary contexts, the PhD in exercise and nutritional sciences curriculum trains scholars and leaders to conduct high-impact, interdisciplinary research in exercise and nutritional sciences, to address exercise and nutrition-related health problems, and to develop effective physical activity, exercise and nutrition interventions. In contrast to other programs, this program integrates exercise, nutrition and health promotion research using a problem-centered, interdisciplinary approach.
The Exercise and Nutritional Sciences program at Arizona State University emphasizes translational research, spanning from pre-clinical research aimed at understanding the biological mechanisms through which diet and exercise impact health and well-being, to clinical trials and the implementation of evidence-based practices in the community.
