Program overview
Sports-based health and wellness is simply about "helping people age well through sports." You'll not only study core sports courses like exercise physiology and sports rehabilitation, but also dive into interdisciplinary subjects such as geriatric medicine, nutrition, health management, and traditional Chinese wellness practices. Typical courses include: exercise prescription, fitness assessment for older adults, exercise intervention for chronic diseases, and management of wellness facilities. Chinese universities have a unique advantage in this field—many have affiliated hospitals or wellness bases, giving you direct access to real cases, such as designing fall prevention training for community seniors or helping rehabilitation centers with post-surgery recovery. This major is perfect for those who love sports and care about social issues, especially students who are passionate about aging topics and want to use their knowledge to improve seniors' quality of life.
