What is an Exercise Physiologist?

 

 

 

    An Exercise Physiologist is an exercise professional with University qualifications in Exercise and Sports Science, or a related area. Exercise Physiologists are accredited with the Australian Association of Exercise and Sports Science (AAESS) who define the domain of the Exercise Physiologist as matching the immediate aspirations and needs of the client with appropriate exercise programs. Programs will rarely only involve physical activity and therefore the Exercise Physiologist does not practice in isolation and will work with other health practitioners. An Exercise Physiologist is ideally suited to providing professional services in the area of exercise as a treatment strategy in physical rehabilitation, as a preventative strategy in disease prevention and improvement of health, and for the enhancement of activities of daily living.
