Students in the Applied Physiology Master’s and Exercise Physiology Ph.D. programs have numerous applied physiological research opportunities in the department’s well-equipped Laboratory of Clinical and Applied Physiology, Laboratory of Neuromuscular Research and Active Aging, and the Laboratory of Sports Medicine and Motion Analysis. Additionally, the department’s close collaborative relationships with the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, College of Arts and Sciences, Health South Doctors’ Hospital, the Varsity Athletics Department, and the community allows Master’s and doctoral students to work in clinical environments while improving their hands-on clinical skills and advancing their research accomplishments. The program is best known for its work in women’s health, obesity, pediatric physiology, aging, Parkinson’s disease, biomechanics, cardiovascular physiology, exercise biochemistry, and human metabolism.
