TabsOverviewAs part of the Kingdom’s tireless pursuit of a better life for its citizens and in light of the sustainable development of Saudi human resources, several measures have been taken in accordance with Vision 2030 with the aim of increasing the number of participants in recreational activities. And competitive sports activities at the local, regional and international levels, for men and women. To achieve a high level of health. To achieve this, an academic program specialized in sports science was created to qualify Saudi female students to be cadres in this field and participate in achieving the Kingdom’s future goals. The department aims primarily to prepare national female cadres who are scientifically qualified in the various sports science specializations (sports training, sports management, recreation and health) who are able to meet the needs of the labor market (fitness trainers, directors of sports centers, sports trainers and sports therapists, sports specialists). (Assistant coach, sports club manager, sports marketer). Which has become a broad framework for its use these days.
