Endurance

Endurance is an area of exercise that requires much time and effort to improve. Whether it’s increasing your distance in a marathon or the number of reps you can perform during weight training, endurance is something that takes dedication to master.

Muscular endurance refers to the ability of skeletal muscles to contract repeatedly over long periods. This is achieved through ATP, a chemical compound that supplies energy to muscles during physical activity.

Endurance sports involve repeated isotonic contractions of sizeable skeletal muscle groups, such as running, cycling, and swimming among summer sports, or cross-country skiing and speed skating among winter sports. Endurance training is also used to increase overall cardiovascular endurance. This is accomplished through regular exercise that increases the amount of oxygen circulating in the body, thus improving VO2 max.

Balance

Balance training combines static and dynamic exercises to improve body stability, posture, and movement control. The activities are performed thrice weekly in a 45-minute group session for 12 weeks. They include both standing and sitting balance exercises, as well as trunk rotations. The programme has improved balance control, fall-related self-efficacy, fear of falling, walking speed and physical function. The programme is easy to modify for specific conditions, such as those with osteoporosis or arthritis. It could be done before resistance or aerobic exercise and should be included in a comprehensive programme. Exercise physiologists should be present during balance training to help modify practices as needed and provide guidance safely and effectively.

Flexibility

Flexibility training involves exercises that stretch your muscles until they’re loosened, and your body becomes lithe and limber. Flexibility is essential to help reduce the risk of injuries, especially overuse injuries. This is because when your joints and muscles are flexible, they’re less likely to be placed in a position beyond their range of motion, leading to injury.

Flexibility is also known to speed up the recovery of muscle groups after exercise. This is because when your muscles are flexible, they can move more efficiently and with less resistance, which means less muscle soreness and inflammation.

Various techniques can be used to improve flexibility, including static stretching, ballistic stretching, contract-relax stretching (or PNF) and yoga. However, it’s important to remember that flexibility is joint-specific, and a complete body program is required to increase your joints’ comprehensive range of motion/movement.

Pain Management

Pain signals something is wrong and usually comes on quickly due to injury or disease. It can be sharp, stinging, burning, or aching, affecting one area of the body or your entire body. Acute pain usually goes away, but sometimes it becomes chronic.

Our Exercise Physiology team can teach you strategies to manage your pain. This may include medication, physical therapies, and complementary therapies. Psychological training is also available and can help you learn new ways to cope emotionally with your pain. This can help improve your quality of life, allow you to become more active, and reduce the progression of your symptoms. You can learn more about our Pain Management training by speaking to a Woodville Exercise Physiologist.

A career in exercise physiology can be a rewarding and challenging one. To navigate it successfully, a person must have the right combination of education, experience, and interests. This article offers a broad overview of the field, including some basic definitions and distinctions that can help clarify overlapping areas such as exercise science, sports medicine, and kinesiology.

Clinical exercise physiologists work in hospitals, rehabilitation facilities and other medical settings to develop supervised programs for patients with chronic or severe medical concerns. Examples include pulmonary disease, cardiac and vascular conditions, and cancer. They may also be responsible for delivering conditioning programs to teen athletes, an area of specialty that has seen significant growth in recent years.
