Exercise Physiology
The Exercise physiology cognate will prepare students to work in industry, like Gatorade and Velocity Sports
Performance, health, medical, military, and university settings. The cognate will be especially useful to students
interested in cardiac rehabilitation, research or practice based exercise physiology such as performance and heat
stress, performance and altitude, fluid balance, motor functions, exercise testing of athletes, and development of
physical fitness programs in prevention of disease and disability
Exercise Physiology is a discipline involving the study of how exercise alters the structure and function of the human
body. Exercise Physiology requires diverse knowledge and considerable study of various physiologic responses to
exercise. Topics studied include human energy transfer, human energy expenditure, the nervous, pulmonary,
cardiovascular, musculoskeletal system and endocrine systems (including hormones) and their interactions. Also,
studies should include training methods and environmental effects on physiology.
