What is Exercise physiology?
[[File:MatteoTosatto2.jpg|right|upright|thumb|alt=Professional cyclist racing around a bend]] '''Exercise physiology''' is the study of the acute responses and chronic [[Adaptation|adaptations]] to a wide-range of [[physical exercise]] conditions. In addition, many exercise [[Physiology|physiologist]]<nowiki/>s study the effect of exercise on [[pathology]], and the mechanisms by which exercise can reduce or reverse [[disease]] progression. ==Area of study== An exercise physiologist's area of study may include but is not limited to [[biochemistry]], [[bioenergetics]], [[cardiopulmonary]] function, [[hematology]], [[biomechanics]], [[skeletal muscle]] physiology, [[neuroendocrine]] function, and central and perpheral [[nervous system]] function. Also, exercise physiologists range from basic [[scientist]]s, to clinical researchers, to [[clinician]]s, to sports trainers. {{physics-stub}} [[Category:Physiology]] [[Category:Evolutionary biology]] [[Category:Sports]]
