📖 1. Exercise Science Definition

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Exercise
    A subcategory of physical activity that is planned, structured, repetitive, and purposeful, aimed at improving or maintaining components of physical fitness.
    Example: Running regularly to enhance cardiovascular health.

  • Physical Activity
    Any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure. It includes all movements, not necessarily structured or planned.
    Example: Walking to class or doing household chores.

  • Exercise Physiology
    The branch of biological sciences focused on understanding how the body responds and adapts to physical activity and exercise at molecular, cellular, system, and whole-body levels.
    Example: Studying how muscle oxygen consumption increases during exercise.

  • Acute Response
    The immediate physiological changes that occur during and shortly after exercise, such as increased heart rate or ventilation.
    Example: Elevated breathing rate during a sprint.
