Physical Activity (100% online)
Offered at IU Bloomington by School of Public Health
About
This is an online program.
Public health organizations have recently turned their attention to physical inactivity, a modifiable behavior, as it has been recognized as a major risk factor for chronic diseases.
The Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) degree with a concentration in Physical Activity trains professionals to effectively quantify physical activity, monitor populations, and design interventions focused on improving health through the promotion of physical activity.
You will learn how to assess physical activity behavior, apply behavioral theories when designing physical activity interventions, use epidemiology techniques to describe the relationship between physical activity and health, and develop public health policies aimed at impacting physical activity behavior.
Students have the opportunity to work with faculty with interdisciplinary interests such as health games, worksite wellness, recreation, and disabilities.
