Exercise Physiology

Meaning

Exercise Physiology is the scientific study of the acute responses and chronic adaptations of the body’s systems, including the endocrine, cardiovascular, and musculoskeletal systems, to physical activity and exercise stress. Within the hormonal health domain, this discipline provides the clinical framework for understanding how specific exercise modalities influence hormone secretion, receptor sensitivity, and metabolic function, which is critical for personalized wellness protocols. It bridges physical activity with systemic biological outcomes.
