Program overview
The Sports Rehabilitation program falls under the category of Sports Science (Science). It focuses on using exercise training, physical therapy, and functional assessment to help patients with sports injuries, post-surgery recovery, or chronic diseases restore their physical functions. Simply put, you learn how to use "movement" to treat illnesses. Core courses include Sports Anatomy, Sports Physiology, Rehabilitation Assessment, Sports Injury Prevention and Treatment, Physical Therapy Techniques, and Exercise Prescription. You will also learn traditional Chinese rehabilitation methods such as massage and acupuncture—this is a unique advantage of Chinese universities, many of which have dedicated labs and affiliated hospitals for practice. This program is suitable for students who love sports, are patient, willing to help others, and interested in the intersection of medicine and sports. If you are an athlete or fitness enthusiast, this major will help you understand how to recover scientifically.
