Compared to our resting state, exercise poses a substantial increase in demand to the body. At rest, our nervous system maintains a parasympathetic tone that affects respiratory rate, cardiac output, and various metabolic processes. Exercise stimulates the sympathetic nervous system and induces an integrated response from the body. This response works to maintain an appropriate level of homeostasis for the increased demand in physical, metabolic, respiratory, and cardiovascular efforts.Understanding the body’s responses to physical activity is crucial in clinical practice, as it informs the development of tailored exercise programs that can enhance recovery, improve health outcomes, and prevent chronic diseases. By integrating exercise physiology into patient care, healthcare professionals can promote functional independence, improve quality of life, and manage conditions such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes more effectively.
