	WVU :: School of Medicine :: Exercise Physiology
		Exercise Physiology is the study of the biological and biochemical processes associated with exercise and overload that affects the underlying function of cells and organ systems in the human body.
		Exercise physiology is a rapidly evolving field that is becoming increasingly important in the delivery of health care.
		The Division of Exercise of Physiology at the West Virginia University School of Medicine has a faculty of 14 full time faculty and other affiliated faculty who are engaged in interdisciplinary studies that span molecular, cellular, systems and behavioral sciences, with strong emphases in muscle biology, cardiovascular biology, and aging.

	Exercise physiology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An exercise physiologist is a person who has an Bachelors or Masters degree or a doctorate in exercise physiology from an accredited college or university.
		Topics studied in exercise physiology include human energy transfer, human energy expenditure, evaluation of energy-generating capacities, the nervous system pulmonary system, the cardiovascular system, the musculoskeletal system, endocrine system (including hormones) and the interaction of these, plus training methods, environmental effects on physiology, and ergogenic aids.
		Exercise physiologists tend to specialise into either health and fitness or exercise rehabilitation streams with exercise used as a treatment strategy in physical rehabilitation, prevention of disease, and work conditioning.

	Bicycling Exercise Physiology
		As a result, exercise physiologists started to experiment with trained cyclists who were allowed, at some times in the experiments, to use the cadence that they preferred and to even, in some experiments, ride their own racing bicycles instead of the laboratory ergometers.
		Most exercise theory is based on activities in which oxygen is in shorter supply than fuel, but cycling is a very special exercise in which running low on oxygen is much less of a problem than running out of fuel.
		I think that shorter-duration exercise merely encourages greater eating, thus replenishing during each night both the glucose (both that in the blood and that stored as glycogen) and the small amount of body fat that was consumed by the day's exercise.

	eMedicine - Exercise Physiology : Article by Amer Suleman
		After exercise has stopped, extra oxygen is required to metabolize lactic acid; to replenish ATP, phosphocreatine, and glycogen; and to replace (“pay back”) any oxygen that has been borrowed from hemoglobin, myoglobin (an iron-containing substance similar to hemoglobin that is found in muscle fibers), air in the lungs, and body fluids.
		In exercise, increased blood flow through the lungs causes all of the pulmonary capillaries to be perfused at their maximal level, providing a greater surface area through which oxygen can diffuse into the pulmonary capillary blood.
		As the exercise continues, temperature reflexes are activated and cause cutaneous vasodilatation to dissipate the heat produced by the muscle activity, resulting in an increase in the cutaneous blood flow.

	EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY
		Exercises that are good for cardiorespiratory endurance are exercises that include the whole body, i.e., brisk walking, jogging, cycling, swimming and jumping rope.
		Exercise must be performed on a regular (3 to 5 times a week) basis in order to improve or maintain fitness.
		Exercises need to be performed for fitness assessment covered by the favorite activity (i.e., flexibility exercises, muscular strength exercises and muscular endurance exercises for upper body are needed if jogging is your favorite activity).

		The prevalence of metabolic diseases has escalated dramatically in the U.S. over the last 15 years, highlighted by the fact that both obesity and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus are currently considered to be unfolding epidemics.
		Although regular physical activity is well recognized to be a key factor in the prevention and treatment of these diseases, the cellular and molecular mechanisms that are actually responsible for the adaptations to exercise, particularly in skeletal muscle, are unknown.
		Research projects in the laboratory are directed at determining the cellular and molecular basis of how skeletal muscle cells sense, respond and adapt over time to the challenges to homeostasis imposed by physical activity.

	NISMAT Exercise Physiology Corner: Muscle Physiology Primer
		When a muscle is required to contract during exercise not all motor units are used (or recruited).
		The major substrate for anaerobic glycolysis is glycogen, so prior hard exercise without adequate repletion of glycogen is going to limit further high intensity, short term work by muscles.
		Limitation of low intensity exercise is rarely due to substrate depletion, although depletion of muscle glycogen may also result in fatigue during aerobic events.
