Exercise Physiology High Impact Factor Journals

The Journal of Exercise Physiologyonline, published by the American Society of Exercise Physiologists, is a professional peer reviewed Internet-based journal devoted to original research in exercise physiology. The journal is directed by the Editor-In-Chief with supporting editorial assistance via Associate Editors knowledgeable in the field of exercise physiology. JEPonline is the first electronic peer reviewed exercise physiology journal in the history of the profession.

Exercise physiology is the physiology of physical exercise. It is one of the allied health professions that involves the study of the acute responses and chronic adaptations to exercise.

Compared to our resting state, exercise poses a substantial increase in demand for the body.

At rest, our nervous system maintains a parasympathetic tone which affects the respiratory rate, cardiac output, and various metabolic processes. Exercise stimulates the sympathetic nervous system and will induce an integrated response from the body.This response works to maintain an appropriate level of homeostasis for the increased demand in physical, metabolic, respiratory, and cardiovascular efforts[1] Exercise challenges many human physiological systems that need to adapt in order to maintain homeostasis, this is the inner balance of the body. While exercising, homeostasis is endangered by the increased amount of O2 and nutrients demand, the need to get rid of CO2 and metabolic waste products, rising body temperature and acid imbalance and varying hormone levels.

Function

Exercise has been shown to have many health benefits. Through functional exercise, we can see benefits in but not limited to:

Cognition: Studies have shown exercising subjects to have higher concentration scores than non-exercising subjects. Flexibility and mobility Cardiovascular health Improved glycemic control and insulin sensitivity Mood elevation Lower risks of cancer Increased bone mineral density
