Physiology of Exercise

           

           Hi guys! Today’s branch of Physical Education will be physiology of exercise. This is a branch with, of course, different purposes and missions than the branches we have discussed here before. Physiology of exercise is a discipline that studies the impact that exercises and physical condition have in the human body. This discipline keeps relation with the aerobic capacity, the fatigue and the physiology effects that different exercise programs might have in the participant. It is extremely important to know about this branch when it comes to exercise our bodies. Why is that? Simple, if we don’t know anything about this branch we could hurt our bodies while exercising. We need to know the body capacities of working out. This branch can create an active and healthy life; we definitely need it in our lives.

            Exercise physiology is a branch that could engaged other branches to work towards the same goals. For example, it could work with other branches to create the best environment for the athletes when it comes to exercise and to do it under safely and healthy conditions. An exercise physiologist could bring a lot of benefits to any sports team or single athlete. They provide scientific support at many levels and different sports. Their job might involve monitoring their athletes training through the measurement and assessment of such physical functions as: respiration, metabolism, body composition, muscle, nutrition, and the nervous, pulmonary and cardiovascular systems. This is a very interesting branch, and if you like help other to successful this might be the perfect branch for you.

           Below is a video that gives an example of how is the job of a exercise physiologist.
