As exercise scientists, can we analyze systems in the human body & design strategies to improve quality of life? Our study of physiology aims to explain the physical & chemical mechanisms that regulate the body. These mechanisms maintain homeostasis, relatively constant conditions that are compatible with life. This semester we begin speaking the language of physiology to communicate effectively with clinicians, medical staff & other scientists.
