Enhance Health with a Clinical Insights

In case you did not know 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 clinical outcomes.
Clinical patients are unfortunately not completely healthy (sounds like most of us) and typically suffer from illness to vary degrees such as cardiorenal, cancer, neurological and metabolic illness for example (the latter includes obesity and type 2 diabetes). Often a patient will have a combination of factors or symptoms that are interrelated and significantly impact longevity. Research indicates however 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 in construction of an exercise program that will address specific needs. Through careful assessment and monitoring, clinicians can effectively prescribe “medicine” through exercise that is appropriate in terms of safety and is also beneficial for the bodily system that require training or will help impart additional health benefits. 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 well-being.
