Explanation of Solution

The study of the function of tissues, organs, and their systems is called as physiology. Exercise physiology is the study of a single bout (acute exercise) or repeated bouts of exercise on the tissues, organs, and their systems. Initially, these studies are conducted on both young and old individuals in healthy and diseased people in order to understand the role of exercise to prevent or rehabilitate numerous chronic diseases. If these studies are made consistent, even coronary heart disease can be prevented and the performance of elite athletes and the person’s ability to work in adverse conditions can also be understood. Sports physiology, sports nutrition, and sports medicine are growing fields of interest recently. Careers in the field of athletic training, cardiac rehabilitation, physical therapy, and interest are the evidence of interest for students who pursue exercise physiology.
