Abstract

Exercise is widely recognized for its importance as a preventive and rehabilitative health measure. Even so, the prevalence of diseases due to poor lifestyle choices is high. These statements speak volumes about the contradiction that exists between our state of knowledge regarding preventive health and the general behavior of the populace. As an academic discipline, exercise physiology is concerned with two general goals: using exercise as a research tool to explore physiological responses and adaptations and using physiological measurements to understand the stress of exercise. These general goals establish the boundaries around which scientists explore the physiology of exercise from different vantage points. This publication examines all these aspects of exercise physiology and more! Including a case study on cardiopulmonary rehabilitation.
