- 1. Exercise physiology is the study of how exercise impacts the various systems of the body, including cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal, and metabolic systems. It explores how the body responds and adapts to physical activity, examining factors such as oxygen consumption, energy expenditure, heart rate, and muscle function. Through research and observation, exercise physiologists seek to understand the mechanisms behind the body's physiological responses to exercise, leading to insights that can improve athletic performance, enhance physical fitness, and optimize training programs for individuals of all ages and fitness levels.
