The best way to maintain muscle fitness and general health is to keep your body moving.
Exercise and movement are used in exercise physiology, an allied health discipline, to increase fitness, develop strength, and manage chronic diseases.
Examine the function of exercise physiologists and how they may support NDIS participants in leading healthier lives because it’s one of the less well-known allied health services.
What is an Exercise Physiologist?
An exercise physiologist can assist you if you wish to enhance your activity level, reduce body fat, move more, or improve your balance.
An expert in exercise physiology can:
Create a customised workout regimen based on your interests and goals.
Offer recommendations for modifying your lifestyle for better health.
Help you reach your fitness objectives.
Help you get ready for other activities like joining a gym or playing team or community sports.
Make sure your movements are safe and won’t exacerbate any current conditions or pain.
3 Ways Exercise Physiology Gets You Closer To Your NDIS Goals
1. Assist in the prevention and treatment of chronic health issues
It has been demonstrated that regular exercise helps to control and lessen the symptoms of a variety of chronic medical conditions. Exercise can enhance balance, flexibility, body composition, cardiovascular fitness, strength, and flexibility, but it can also lower bad triglycerides, raise good cholesterol, and improve blood pressure. It has also been demonstrated to have a neuro-protective impact and decrease disease progression in a number of neurological diseases.
2. Enhance your social and mental well-being
There are more people than ever who have mental health issues. Exercise has been demonstrated to release endorphins, our “feel good” hormone, which has been proved to improve mental health issues like depression and anxiety. Our release of endorphins can shield us from recurrent mental health problems. Exercise has also been demonstrated to reduce social anxiety, build confidence, and boost self-esteem.
3. A customised plan fit for your individual needs
It makes no difference if you have never exercised before. Your health goals can be attained with the aid of an individualised program developed by an exercise physiologist. Exercise physiologists are experts in prescribing clinical exercise to people with chronic conditions, such as neurological disorders and physical disabilities, and they work with them to improve their function, health, and wellbeing through exercise.
