Exercise Physiology in Brisbane

What is exercise physiology?

Exercise physiology is the physiology of physical exercise. Exercise physiology is the study of the the body’s acute responses and chronic adaptations to a wide range of physical activity and exercise conditions.

Exercise physiologists study the effect of exercise on pathology, and the mechanisms by which exercise can reduce or reverse disease progression. In Australia if you’re seeking exercise physiology you should look for an accredited exercise physiologist. These health care professionals play an important role in servicing the health care needs of those involved in exercise and physical activity.

How can exercise physiology help you?

Recent scientific evidence supports physical activity and exercise as an integral treatment for both primary and secondary prevention and the treatment of chronic disease. Our exercise physiologists work together with our health team of physiotherapists, osteopaths, podiatrists and musculoskeletal therapists. An exercise physiologist can help:

//     Those at risk of developing chronic disease or those already suffering chronic disease;
//     Clients with an existing injury that require rehabilitation to improve physical function and return to normal health;
//     Those at risk of developing an injury unless appropriate action is taken;

What can an exercise physiologist do for me?

An exercise physiologist can help you with:

//     Ensuring the appropriateness and safety of a client’s exercise and physical activity program;
//     Assessing movement capacity in clients to ensure an appropriate program is developed;
//     Developing and monitoring effective exercise programs that are tailored to the needs of the individual;
//     Provision of advice and information on physical activity and clinical exercise prescription for clients at risk of developing chronic disease or those already suffering chronic disease;
//     Providing rehabilitation advice for those recovering from injury or surgery;
