About Exercise Physiology
Exercise physiology is the study of how the body responds and adapts to physical activity and exercise. It involves understanding the short and long term effects of various types of exercise on the body's structure and function. Exercise physiologists aim to enhance performance, prevent or manage chronic diseases, and improve overall health and well-being through the prescription of appropriate exercise interventions. The specifics of a session will be designed for your individual needs, health status, and goals. Working with an exercise physiologist can be particularly beneficial if you're looking to optimise your fitness, manage a chronic condition, or receive personalised guidance on exercise programming.
FAQ about Exercise Physiology
What is an Accredited Exercise Physiologist?
An Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) is a university qualified allied health professional who has the knowledge, skills and competency to design, deliver and evaluate safe and effective exercise programs for people with acute, sub-acute or chronic medical conditions, injuries of disabilities. An AEP will collaborate with individuals to enhance their well-being through exploring and engaging with life-enhancing movement, providing relevant health education, and also providing space for individual reflection on a person’s experience with exercise.
What will happen during my initial appointment?
During your initial appointment, the AEP will gather important information from you regarding your physical and mental health history, as well as taking time to clarify and understand your individual health and fitness goals. You will be asked about your previous experiences with physical activity, and discuss your current relationship with movement. Some physical assessments (i.e. blood pressure) and fitness assessments (strength, flexibility) may be conducted, but this will depend on your individual goals.
The AEP will then consider the information collected and discussed with you, to begin developing an appropriate education and movement plan specific to you.
Will I be weighed?
There are very few circumstances where taking your weight would be necessary, and our standard practice does not include taking a client’s weight.
The main things to consider when choosing what to wear to your appointment are comfort and ability to move freely. There is no need to wear fancy activewear (unless you want to!), just make sure you are able to move around with comfort.
We do ask that you wear enclosed footwear, and bring a towel and water bottle for health and safety reasons.
What should I wear to my appointment?
How does exercise physiology fit in with eating disorder recovery?
Dysfunctional exercise habits are a common symptom of an eating disorder, and if they persist, are associated with poorer treatment and recovery outcomes. Historically, the topic of physical activity in eating disorder recovery has been poorly addressed, with advice often not going much further than to simply stop or limit exercise.
An appropriately trained Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) is well equipped to help you to explore your relationship with exercise, and provide important education and guidance for engaging in movement during eating disorder treatment. They will work collaboratively with you and your existing treatment team, including your GP, psychologist and dietitian, staying within their scope of practice and utilising evidence-based guidelines.
