Physiological Exercise physiology
Physiological Exercise Physiology is a part of exercise science that deals with the physiological basis of a fit individual. It is a systematic and methodical approach in analyzing the physiological basis of a specific physical ability.
Physiological exercise physiology is divided up into five categories:
- Measurement & Assessment
- Bio hydric (biofeedback)
- Affective processes
- electromyography (EMG)
- Neurophysiology
In this article, we will be discussing a few of these five areas which includes a brief discussion on each.

Measurement & Assessment:
As the name suggests, measurement is the part of exercise science that deals with measurements. According to a standard methodology, there are many ways to measure the efficacy of a routine workout program. Whether it is the time you finish training or the calories you lift, it is important to understand the measures that you are taking. There are a few tools that are readily available to you that can help you with the assessment of your physiological adaptations to exercise.
First is the OMRON blood scanning device which is a noninvasive, nonhome anywhere scan that can measure signals in the blood stream and identify oxygen saturation of the body.
The Identical Multiple Inch Orthopedic Respiration is an instrument that is used to measure blood flow velocity during inhalation, exhalation, and during exercise. The OMRON blood is compared to the baseline blood by a trained medical sonographer in a way that allows a comparative measure of the change in arterial blood flow velocity during the exercise period.
Another noninvasive method is the nonamping heart rate monitor. Unlike the heart rate monitor, the limb vein blood pressure is taken from the OMRON blood instead of the heart. This way, the maximal exercise load intensity can be evaluated and compared at different points in time.

Bio-Hydration:
When you start your exercise, you become dehydrated. This happens due to a several reasons. The first reason is that your organism is thirsty, it cannot produce additional water for its body cells since it is already continuously losing water through urine. So, due to this one, fluid intake is very important during exercise. During exhaustion, you can still compensate for fluid loss by increasing urine volume, but this is considered an abnormal situation and requires fast remedy.
The second reason for dehydration is red wine and beer intake. Two of the main ingredients of wine and beer, being sulfites and the congeners, inhibit the assimilation of urochrome, affecting the metabolism of proteins, essential for potency and immune system health.
Thus, water is the most immediate and promising fluid for those who are battling dehydration. Always maintain fluid levels, even if you are not thirsty. Thirst perception is not a good indicator for when to replace lost fluids. Instead, focus on consuming a lot of electrolytes, like sodium and potassium. These two minerals regulate many activities of the body, including vasodilation and increased water retention.
Ketone levels are also important to be aware of. This precursor of ketones is a way for our body to provide energy efficiently and also burns fat. Since it is produced during fat burning, it provides a natural way to burn fat.
It’s important to have adequate amounts of Vitamin C and B12 as well as electrolytes during exercise. Mercury, deficiencies of Vitamin D and caffeine will deplete your body’s supply of electrolytes.
The final piece of exercise dehydration prevention is stopping the loss of body fluids during sleep, even if you are not thirsty. A couple more minutes of latency will cause almost no fluid loss and could actually cause hyponatremia.
Remedies for exercise dehydration are:
-water for yourself and for your replenishment of it daily
-hydration for those who must add it during exercise
-Control and reduce alcohol volume
-Increase water intake of nutritious foods
It is also critical to drink the right amount of water for your body type to promote optimum health and exercise tolerance.
