What are the 4 parts of the research continuum
Basic research
theoretical research
empirical
applied research
Basic research
discovery of new knowledge, no concern for direct application, body of knowledge
theoretical research
fact finding, such as performing a study that looks at the risk of heart disease
empirical research
meaningful relationships, experience related research, purpose is to test a theory and possibly refine it
what is exercise physiology
integrated science that has its goal as the revelation of the mechanisms of overall bodily function and its regulation
What is the role of exercise physiology
allows health practitioners to promote healthier lifestyle choices through modification of lifestyle and physical activity
what are some physiological determinants of performance
- rate at which energy can be transformed
- quantity of energy which can be available
- energy cost of performance a given task
multidisciplinary
many academic courses
cross disciplinary
outside department but related to course of study
interdisciplinary
a course that is a blend of many disciplines
goals of exercise physiology
- use of physical activity and exercise as research tools to explore physiological responses and adaptations
- use of physiological measurements to understand physical activity and exercise
Hypokinetic disease and disablement definition
- chronic lack of physical activity
- long term effect is a system wide deterioration in fucntion
- may lead to disability
relationship between education level and exercise
the higher your education the more likely you are to exercise
What is stress

what is clinical exercise physiology
application of exercise physiology principles, knowledge, and skills for purposes of the prevention rehabilitation or diagnosis of disease or disability in humans
Control systems of the body
- intracellular control systems
2. organ systems
intracellular control systems
protein breakdown and synthesis in the liver and digestive system.
energy production
maintenance of stored nutrients
organ systems
pulmonary and circulatory systems replenish oxygen and remove carbon dioxide
