Exercise Physiology

What is Exercise Physiology?

Exercise Physiology is the application of exercise and physical activity to prevent and manage disease, improve function and enhance performance.

Exercise Physiologists assess movement, fitness, metabolic and cardiovascular responses, then design individualized exercise programs that target strength, endurance, flexibility, balance and motor control.

Interventions are evidence-based and often used to rehabilitate musculoskeletal injuries, support recovery from chronic conditions (such as diabetes, heart disease and respiratory disorders), optimise sport performance, and reduce the risk of future injury.
