There are two main reasons for pursuing research in the Sports
Sciences. Firstly, by studying responses to exercise, we learn
about the normal function of the tissues and or gans whose function
allows exercise to be performed. The genetic endowment of elite ath
letes is a major factor in their success, and they represent one
end of the continuum of human performance capability: the study of
elite athletes also demonstrates the limits of human adaptation
because nowhere else is the body subjected to such levels of
intensive exercise on a regular basis. The second reason for
studying Sports Science is the intrinsic interest and value of the
subject itself. Elite performers set levels to which others can as
pire, but even among spectators, sport is an important part oflife
and society. of top sport and elite performers, there is also
another reason Apart from the study for medical and scientific
interest in sport. There is no longer any doubt that lack ofphysi
cal activity is a major risk factor for many of the diseases that
affect people in all coun tries: such diseases include coronary
heart disease, obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. An increased
level of recreational physical activity is now an accepted part of
the prescription for treatment and prevention of many illnesses,
including those with psychological as well as physical causes. An
understanding of the normal response to exercise, as well as of the
role of exercise in disease prevention, is therefore vital."
