Exercise Physiology
What does an Exercise Physiologist do?
Exercise Physiologists specialise in designing personalised exercise programs tailored to individual needs, focusing on improving health, fitness, and performance.
They assess fitness levels, create customized workouts, monitor progress, and provide education on exercise benefits and proper techniques.
Working with diverse populations, they promote wellness and address specific health concerns through evidence-based interventions.
Some also contribute to research in exercise science to advance understanding and optimise outcomes.
What is the difference between Physio & Exercise Physiology?
Exercise Physiology and Physiotherapy are distinct yet complementary fields within healthcare. Exercise Physiology focuses on optimising health and performance through tailored exercise programs, while Physiotherapy addresses a broader range of physical conditions to restore movement and function.
Exercise Physiologists specialise in exercise prescription, working with diverse populations, while Physiotherapists employ various techniques to treat musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiopulmonary conditions, aiding individuals of all ages in their recovery journey
