a) In your own words; briefly discuss the prospects of being

an
exercise
physiology / Exercise Physiology students like you.
Exercise physiology is a branch of the biological sciences and is concerned with
the way in which the body responds to exercise and training. There are many
prospects of being an exercise physiologist. Here I would like to explain briefly about
the career prospects of being an exercise physiologist. As an exercise physiologist,
you teach individuals exercises to help them to improve their long-term health and
reach their fitness or sporting goals.
You can work in sports medicine assisting athletes with injury prevention or
management in a major sporting code or in a sporting institute. You could also work
in the fitness industry assisting clients to develop their fitness and improve their
health and wellbeing.
You may work as part of an allied health team in a clinical setting to assist
patients of all ages to manage their medical conditions. You may specialise in the
delivery of exercise, lifestyle and behavioural modification programs for the
prevention or better management of chronic diseases, disabilities and injuries.
With further study you could also work in research or in a health promotion role
promoting the benefits of sport and exercise in the community.

b) Explain the differences between Anatomy, Physiology

and Exercise Physiology (define each differences).

Anatomy is the branch of biology concerned with the study of the

structure of organisms and their parts. In some of its facets, anatomy is
related to embryology and comparative anatomy, which itself is closely
related to evolutionary biology andphylogeny. Anotomy is the branch
of science concerned with the bodily structure of humans, animals, and

other living organisms, especially as revealed by dissection and the

separation of parts

Physiology is the scientific study of the normal function in living

systems. A sub-discipline of biology, its focus is in how organisms,
organ systems, organs, cells, and bio-molecules carry out the chemical
or physical functions that exist in a living system.

- Exercise Physiology is the identification of physiological mechanisms

underlying physical

activity, the comprehensive delivery of treatment

services concerned with the analysis, improvement, and maintenance of

health and fitness, rehabilitation of heart disease and other chronic
diseases and/or disabilities, and the professional guidance and counsel of
athletes and others interested in athletics, sports training, and human
adaptability to acute and chronic exercise
