Exercise Physiology

Exercise Physiology support provides insight into the physical demands observed within elite sports’ environments. This area can also assess an athlete’s relative capability to meet these physical demands in terms of present physical status.

An athlete’s physical status changes over time and in particular in response to the coaching programme structure. Clear programme structures present patterns of activity that include rest and recovery. Testing within both training and recovery phases can provide knowledge about the success of programme manipulations and also an athlete’s relative response within the coaching programme.
