What Is Exercise Physiology?
Exercise physiology focuses on how the body responds to physical activity. It involves assessing and prescribing tailored exercise programmes to manage chronic health conditions, improve fitness, and enhance overall well-being.

Assessment of Physical Function: Evaluating strength, flexibility, endurance, and cardiovascular health.
Exercise Prescription: Developing personalised exercise plans that target specific health and fitness goals.
Chronic Disease Management: Using exercise as a therapeutic tool to manage conditions like diabetes, arthritis, and cardiovascular disease.
Rehabilitation Support: Assisting recovery from injuries, surgeries, and long-term health issues.
Prevention Strategies: Reducing the risk of chronic diseases through active lifestyle interventions.

Exercise physiology is suitable for individuals of all ages and fitness levels, providing tailored solutions that promote longevity, independence, and enhanced quality of life.
