1. What is Exercise Physiology

2. Which is responsible for more health benefits: acute or chronic?

1. The study of how our bodies structure and function changes when exposed to acute and chronic bouts of exercise of physical activity.

1. What is the difference between Physical Activity and Exercise?

1. Physical activity is any form of muscular movement whereas exercise is physical exertion of sufficient intesity, duration, and frequency to achieve or maintain fitness or other health or athletic objectives.

Exercise is intended. Physical Activity is present in everything you do.
