Document Summary
The science of exercise physiology studies how the body"s structures & functions are altered when exposed to acute and chronic exercise. (how exercise affects the body & alters it) Takes the concepts of exercise physiology and applies them to training athletes and enhancing their level of performance. (applied to a particular sport) Exercise defined: a single bout of bodily exertion or muscular activity that requires expenditure of energy. Is the physiologic responses which occur during or immediately following an acute bout of exercise. Involve how the body responds to one bout of exercise (running on a treadmill for 30 min. "s) Chronic responses (over time: chronic physiological adaptations to training involve how the body responds over time to the stress of repeated exercise bouts. Acute response: increased heart rate during the exercise session. Chronic response: resting heart rate decreases as a result of running three times per week over 3 months.
