Topic 1: I believe using abbreviations can truly help communications between health care professionals‚ because it makes it easier to convey what you are trying to say.

What is exercise physiology? Exercise physiology is the science that describes‚ explains and uses the body’s response to exercise and adaption to exercise to maximise human physical potential. Exercise physiology is very important in touch because the amount of physical activity our body can tolerate‚ the better we will play for the longest amount of time. ATP/CP system is used by the body to produce ATP quickly in the absence of oxygen. High intensity activities lasting for less than 10 seconds
