您为什么要在WSU学习运动和运动科学学位？
“我选择在WSU学习这个学位，因为我喜欢高中的PDHPE和生物学，” Keishabilla告诉我们。“我想在运动或康复区工作，所以这对我来说是完美的学位。”
If you know that you’d enjoy working in the Sports industry, Sport and Exercise Science at WSU提供与成为体育和运动从业者兼容的透彻知识基础和技能。
If you look in the right places, such as the WSU CareerHub website or asking tutors,there are many career opportunities that can get you kickstarted in your career path while studying this degree。通过通过她的研究获得健康科学的基本知识，Keishabilla, in fact, ended up landing an intern opportunity early onin her degree!
“这个学位为我提供了实习机会在悉尼足球俱乐部等著名体育俱乐部的工作经验，”她解释说。“这将帮助我变得更加熟悉体育区。”
体育和运动科学学位的前三名优点
#1: Interesting and fun coursework
“学习运动科学单位，I got to do a lot of different physical tests,” Keishabilla says.
由于该学位侧重于体育和运动科学学科，因此无疑是专注于实践运动。所以,虽然课程使学生在其他度more sedentary,many units in this course will engage students to also get up and running.
例如，在Exercise Testing and Measurement,学生了解各种与健康相关的运动方法。
“这包括哔哔声测试，垂直跳跃测试以及坐下并到达测试,” Keishabilla says. “These tests also allow me to reflect on my physical abilities and allows me to improve it in the future.”
WSUalso has a broad range of facilities on campus that cater to these Sport and Exercise Science units, such as the生物化学实验室，单面培训设施，舞蹈设施和多功能法院，和运动和运动科学实验室综合体。
＃2：但是，这并不是全部
“By studying this degree,I also got to learn the psychological side of sport and exercise，” Keishabilla告诉我们。
运动与运动科学encompasses a variety of scientific knowledge — not just physical sports.向行业专业人士学习，学生还深入了解体育和运动科学的心理方面；这是an equally important aspect of the discipline and ensures that graduates have a comprehensive understanding of their practice for all types of clients.
“For example,” Keishabilla explains, “coaches might use positive reinforcement by using lollies鼓励他们的初级运动员训练并最终提高表现。”
#3: Awareness of body health
“通过研究该程度的解剖学和生理单元，I have also become more aware of body changes and how to improve my own health,” Keishabilla says. “For example, I started developing a stretching routine to improve my bad posture!”
就像体育和锻炼科学专业的学生学会为未来客户制定与健康相关的锻炼计划一样，他们的知识可以应用于自己的生活！
体育和运动科学学位的前三名
#1: Focus on memorisation
如果您的记忆很困难，那么在健康科学学士学位（体育与运动科学）中进行的大量评估就需要记住不同身体部位的拉丁词源should be considered.
“This degree requires a lot of memorisation,” Keishabilla says. “解剖词通常基于拉丁语和希腊语，使他们难以记住。”
As an example,she tells us the “acetabulum” is the socket of hip bone;回想起这一点的方法通常是因为知道其拉丁翻译是“醋杯”。
#2: Cadaver tests
Keishabilla说：“在尸体上进行了一些测试。It was really hard to identify anatomical structure on the cadaver because I had never seen it before。”
解剖单元可能会给学生带来震惊，因为他们将遇到与尸体一起工作。但是，研究尸体是这些实践的重要组成部分。在尝试在您的学习中脱颖而出时，这可能会带来一些冲突！
＃3：找到您的学习方法的指导很少
由于健康科学学士学位（体育和运动科学）与高中的班级结构和期望完全不同，因此Keishabilla告诉我们“it takes a while to find the right study method for this degree。”
学生必须在讲座，教程和实践中组织学习方法;while lectures are the most similar to high-school learning, working in laboratory or computer rooms during practicals may be unfamiliar.
除了学生顾问的一般支持外，there is little guidance on how to study and excel in your degree.
“In my first year, I struggled to find a way to organise notes and understand concepts.这是因为该学位探讨了各种主题，不仅关注运动。” Keishabilla说。
有遗憾吗？您希望在WSU开始运动和运动科学之前知道什么？
尽管Keishabilla对WSU学习健康科学学士学位（体育和运动科学）并不感到遗憾，但她希望她对课程的实际涵盖有一些了解。
首先，这个学位不仅与运动有关 - 她解释说“该学位探讨了各种主题，例如心理学，生物力学，文化，伦理和哲学。At first, I was demotivated to study because some of these topics were boring and difficult for me.”
The coursework also需要大量学习期末考试而且，其中一些研究可能会对您的学位的更广泛的了解。
“In my first year, there were three anatomy units, and I was struggling to understand and remember the body parts,” Keishabilla first explains. “It was really hard because anatomical terms are based on Latin and Greek words.我不得不绘制大量图并构成助记符，以记住所有精美的术语。这很耗时。”
What makes this degree different from the ones offered at other universities?
At WSU,讲师和导师致力于确保学生理解工作and go out of their way to help students.
What inspired you to choose this degree?
Keishabilla says that she chose degree “because it involves subjects that I like which are PDHPE and Biology。I like doing physical work and getting to know other people who have similar interests, which led me to this degree.”
至于选择WSU，这一切都与校园的位置和便利有关。
“WSUCampbelltown is also close to my house which makes it easier to get to the universityinstead of catching a train for hours. The university is also close to Macarthur Square so I can buy food and go to classes quickly,” she explains.
What are the possible career paths?
在完成健康科学学士学位（体育与运动科学）之后，graduates can begin a career as Sports and Exercise practitioners, and this can manifest in different career options such as:
-
- Fitness Assessor
- Sport Scientist
- 力量和条件专家
- Sports Analyst
- Physical Activity and Health Adviser
- Biomechanist
- Accredited Exercise Physiologist (requires postgraduate study)
