Answer

An exercise physiologist works through the medium of exercise movements of the musculoskeletal system with regulated frequency and intensity to improve strength, endurance, cardiovascular performance, and metabolism. A person who attains optimal fitness by exercise is usually more productive, more efficient and has a more positive attitude to life. So the work of the exercise physiologist positively impacts many systems of the human organism.Nevertheless, the modality of application is through movement of muscles, involving joints and bones.

Work Step by Step

The exercise prescriptions of the exercise physiologist are applied proximally to movements mediated by muscles and joints. So one may say that the exercise physiologist is concerned primarily with the muscular system, more accurately with the musculoskeletal system. It should not be forgotten, however, that exercise impacts all body systems in some way (mostly positively). Almost certainly exercise-induced improvements in blood circulation with attendant more efficient tissue oxygenation, and waste removal benefits all tissues organs and systems of the body. In addition, people who exercise regularly sleep better and this benefits the whole organism.
