Exercise physiology is the study of how the human body responds to exercise. It requires knowledge of various body systems like the cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous and endocrine systems. Degrees in exercise physiology are offered at several local colleges and involve courses in exercise science, first aid, and fitness evaluation. Careers with an exercise physiology degree include personal training, strength and conditioning coaching, physical therapy, and sports medicine. A physical therapist's typical day involves examining patients, testing strength and range of motion, developing treatment plans, and providing interventions. Coursework for physical therapy includes anatomy, neurobiology, kinesiology, and disease.

3. Degrees in Exercise Physiology Several local Colleges offer degrees in Exercise Physiology/Science. So of which would include D’Youville, UB and Brockport. Some of the courses include Exercise and Sports science. Principles of First aid(primarily designed to familiarize students with understanding procedures regarding the immediate and temporary care of athletic and sports related injuries occurring within exercise settings), and Exercise Evaluation (designed to familiarize students with the hands-on training and theoretical background needed to competently assess levels of physical fitness)Its typically 4 years for a bachelors and 6 years for a masters degree
