Exercise Science is a multifaceted field of study in which movement or physical activity is the intellectual focus. This includes exercise of improvement of health and physical fitness and activities of daily living, work, sport, and play.

Exercise physiology has to be an academically driven profession. Summary: The definition is essentially the same as ACSM's definition of the clinical exercise physiologist (ACSM, 1996).
