Exercise Physiology FAQs
Exercise physiology is the science of how the body responds to physical activity. Our accredited exercise physiologists (AEPs) use this knowledge to create targeted exercise programs that improve health, manage conditions, and help you move and feel better every day.
It’s one of the most effective ways to treat and prevent chronic illness, speed up rehab, and improve quality of life (QOL). Whether you’re recovering from surgery or want to perform at your best, the right movement makes all the difference.
An exercise physiologist helps you recover from injury, manage chronic conditions, or improve your physical performance using safe, tailored exercise programs backed by science — it’s more than just a gym session.
