Sport science has gained vast popularity with students who have an interest in both physiology and the underpinning mechanisms of exercise concerning performance and health. The high numbers of graduates each year, coupled with the low number of graduate positions working in sports, has led to a high level of competition between students. To stand out from the crowd, sport science students may undertake an internship placement as part of their course, designed to enhance theoretical, practical, and soft skills in an applied setting. In the present article, we highlight some of the positives and negatives of sport science internships and ways in which they can be implemented and facilitated. Suggestions have also been provided to make students more aware of the reality of working in professional sports, which includes awareness of the potential for long and unsociable hours of work.
运动科学在对生理学以及与运动表现和健康相关的运动基础机制感兴趣的学生中广受欢迎。每年大量的毕业生，再加上体育行业中研究生职位数量较少，导致学生之间竞争激烈。为了脱颖而出，运动科学专业的学生可能会在课程中参加实习，旨在在应用环境中提高理论、实践和软技能。在本文中，我们强调了运动科学实习的一些优点和缺点，以及实施和促进实习的方法。还提供了一些建议，以使学生更清楚地了解在职业体育领域工作的实际情况，包括意识到可能需要长时间工作且工作时间不规律。
