EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY Definition Exercise Physiology -function of the human body while exercising.

-how bodies' structures and functions are altered when we are exposed to acute and chronic bouts of exercise. Sports Physiology -concepts of exercise physiology to training the athlete enhancing the athlete's sports performance. -from exercise physiology ______ HISTORY Roots- anatomy and physiology 450 B.C. Hippocrates- father of preventive medicine >based on logical science at what the eyes could see. 131 A.D. Galen- Laws of health =breathe fresh air =eat and drink right food/beverage =exercise =regular bowel movement =control emotions -Galen used to dissect animals -Treated Gladiators physical injuries HYGIENE=HEALTH

Greek and Romans- also studied anatomy and attempted to explain -Leonardo da Vinci 1821 MEGENDIE -experimented on dogs metabolism. - feed sugar and water. Fernand LaGrange -1989 Physiology of bodily exercise which was highly criticized. -pure theories, little facts A.V. Hill 1921 won a nobel prize for Cellular metabolism anatomy had a connection to humans. -healthy individuals should be studied. 1927 HARVARD FATIGUE LABORATORY -headed by D.B. Dil for 20 yrs. HEALTH- optimal well-being of a person that contributes to the quality of life. -more than freedom from illness and diseases -high level of mental, social, emotional, physical and spiritual wellness within the limits of genetics. WELLNESS- integration of many different components that expands a person's potential to live. -positive component of good health -patterns of behavior FITNESS
