consider an Exercise Physiology degree. It is a specialization within the kinesiology field where experts gain a thorough understanding of how our bodies react to physical activity as well the effects of sustained physical activity on the body. It is a great field if you are serious about exercise and would like to work in a field with numerous job opportunities that align with

understanding why we look the way we do from genetics. Like one old coach told me‚ “you might fall behind‚ but the world keeps moving.” Exercise is something that has been talked about way before our time‚ but I will be writing about how exercise physiology has changed the world. The first thing I want to talk about is the positive and overall outcome of the growth of exercise physiology through science. Secondly‚ I will be discussing some of the negative effects including:

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 physiology

It is amazing how some systems in our body works together in situations to help us to have the ability to react and be alert of our surroundings such as being in danger or suffering from stress which is an important factor of many health problems. The two systems that I am referring to are the endocrine and nervous systems. they help to regulate our bodies back to our normal state to help to maintain healthy functioning. There are two systems that work with one another to signal the brain when something

The Endocrine System The endocrine system regulates the functioning of every cell‚ tissue‚ and organ in the body. It acts to maintain a stable internal body environment‚ regardless of changes occurring within or outside of the body. Endocrine cells have the ability to sense and respond to changes via the excretion of specific chemicals known as hormones. The endocrine system is one of the body’s two major communication systems‚ the nervous system being the other. Communication within the nervous
