Enhanced Health with Clinical Exercise Physiology

Clinical exercise physiology involves the study of the body's response to physical activity and the implementation of exercise as a prescription for improving health outcomes. Cardiometabolic diseases, which includes obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, are often interrelated and significantly impact your longevity. Research indicates that regular physical activity can reduce the risk of succumbing to many chronic diseases by improving vascular and cardiac health and even metabolic function, enhancing insulin sensitivity, and promoting weight management for example.

Knowledge of clinical exercise physiology enables healthcare professionals to design tailored exercise programs that meet the specific needs. It allows practitioners to consider individual factors such as age, fitness level, existing health conditions, and personal preferences. Through careful assessment and monitoring, clinicians can effectively prescribe appropriate types and intensities of exercise, ensuring it is both safe and beneficial. Additionally, by monitoring the changes in key processes using ECG, cardiopulmonary fitness, BP, vascular stiffness, strength, balance etc using the latest research and guidelines in physiology also helps clinicians see that the changes you have implemented are protective against disease.

The implementation of evidence-based exercise prescriptions, ultimately contributes to healthier lifestyle choices and enhanced patient well-being.
