About Exercise Physiology

Exercise physiology is a branch of allied health that focuses on how our bodies work when we exercise. If you have a condition that impacts the way you can safely move or even just find that your calves always hurt after a long walk, exercise physiology may be what you’ve been searching for! With practical implications for improving performance and well-being, exercise physiology provides valuable insights into achieving our fitness goals.

Life Program

The Life Program is a free, government-funded lifestyle education program for people at risk of developing chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Prevention is always better than cure wherever possible, so we’re on board to do all we can to support healthy lifestyle changes.

Exercise physiologists are one of a limited number of health professionals who are able to run this program through our training in not just exercise prescription but also chronic disease management and lifestyle-related behaviour change. Through The Life Program at Ace Allied Health, we provide information through group sessions on topics such as diet, exercise, stress management, sleep, and making healthy and sustainable changes to improve your lifestyle and well-being.

Your Exercise Physiology Questions Answered

What is exercise physiology?

Exercise physiology is the study of how our bodies respond and adapt to physical activity. It explores the changes that occur in our body systems, such as the heart, muscles, and metabolism, when we exercise. By understanding these processes, exercise physiology helps us develop and increase our fitness levels, improve our performance, and enhance our overall health.

What can I expect when working with an exercise physiologist?

We begin with an assessment so we can determine your current fitness level, ability, and so on. Once we get to know the unique way your body functions, we work with you to set suitable and attainable goals for your needs and potential progression. To work towards these goals, we provide specific exercises tailored to you.

Can anybody see an exercise physiologist?

In short: Yes! Exercise physiologists work with a wide range of people, including athletes, people looking to improve their fitness, those with specific health or medical conditions, and even those who are interested in understanding their body’s response to exercise better. Whether you’re a professional athlete aiming to enhance performance, someone recovering from an injury or illness, or simply seeking guidance on how to exercise safely and effectively, consulting with an exercise physiologist may be highly beneficial for you.

Where do you offer exercise physiology?

We provide exercise physiology services at our Castlemaine and Maryborough locations.
