SPORTS PHYSIOLOGY

The Department of Exercise Physiology serves as a scientific support unit for athlete assessment, physiological monitoring, exercise diagnostics, and recovery evaluation, providing evidence-based insights to optimize training adaptation, performance capacity, and competitive readiness in high-performance sport
Exercise Physiology & Performance Monitoring
Elite sport performance is determined not only by training volume, but also by the athlete’s ability to tolerate workload, sustain exercise intensity, recover efficiently, and physiologically adapt to training demands.
Exercise Physiology helps identify and interpret physiological responses associated with:
-
Aerobic and anaerobic performance
-
Fatigue response
-
Recovery efficiency
-
Exercise intensity adaptation
-
Physiological readiness
-
Workload tolerance
-
Performance sustainability
Through scientific athlete monitoring and physiological diagnostics, these responses become measurable, trackable, and interpretable for performance optimization.
