What is Exercise Physiology? Exercise physiology is a scientific discipline that focuses on how an organism responds to exercise. Exercise represents one of the greatest stresses that an organism can encounter. Therefore exercise represents an outstanding model for studying human and animal physiology. Most people are familiar with the study of exercise physiology as it relates to sport performance. However‚ in the last several decades it has become apparent that the study of exercise

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY The vagina is a thin-walled tube 8 to 10 cm long. It lies between the bladder and rectumand extends from the cervix to the body exterior. Often called the birth canal‚ the vagina providesa passageway for the delivery of an infant and for the menstrual flow to leave the body.The cervix (from Latin "neck") is the lower‚ narrow portion of the uterus where it joinswith the top end of the vagina. Where they join together forms an almost 90 degree curve. It iscylindrical or

The cardiovascular system plays a very important role in keeping the body alive. It is responsible for transportation of blood around the body. Blood carries many important things such as oxygen and nutrients to various organs allowing them to function properly. Blood also carries waste such as carbon dioxide to the lungs for gas exchange and metabolic waste to the kidneys for filtration and excretion. The cardiovascular system comprises of three different parts these being the heart‚ blood and

THE ROLE OF EXERCISE IN THE MANAGEMENT OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the term used to describe the diseases affecting the heart‚ arteries and blood vessels. Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a leading public health problem in the UK with costs exceeding £30 billion per year. Mortality rates from the disease continue to fall‚ mainly due to a combination of public awareness of the risk factors and understanding of the need to lead a healthier life. However
