What is Exercise Physiology?

Exercise physiologists provide clinical exercise interventions aimed at primary and secondary prevention; managing acute, sub-acute and chronic disease or injury; and assist in restoring physical function, health, and wellness.

Exercise physiologists apply evidence-based judgment and clinical reasoning to individuals, groups, and the broader community to:

Improve and maintain health status and function and support reablement.
Prevent decline of health status.
Prevent, treat, and manage health conditions (including diseases, disorders, traumas, injuries)
Screen, assess, and measure capacity and function for activities of daily living and work-related activities, and to inform interventions.
Prescribe, deliver, adapt, and evaluate movement, physical activity, and exercise-based interventions to enhance and maintain function and quality of life, facilitate recovery, and promote reablement and maximise independence.
Educate and advise about health and well-being and how physical activity and exercise can improve health outcomes.
Empower people to improve health outcomes and self-manage health conditions.
Coach and motivate to increase engagement and self-efficacy in treatment and physical.
