Explaining Exercise Science & Physiology episodes
- Ep 1: Why does exercise help coronary artery disease?
If the arteries supplying the heart are narrowed, why would we ask the heart to work harder? Dr Joel and Dr Hunter explain why exercise doesn’t “unblock” a narrowed artery but still makes a big difference in coronary artery disease, from how it eases the load on the heart to how it’s prescribed safely in cardiac rehab.

About Explaining Exercise Science & Physiology
From the publisher's feed
Explaining Exercise Science & Physiology breaks down the “why” behind exercise. Why does exercise help people with heart disease, diabetes or Parkinson’s? Why does lifting weights make you jump…
higher? Each episode, Dr Joel Garrett (Griffith University, Accredited Exercise Physiologist) and Dr Hunter Bennett (Accredited Exercise Scientist) take one question and work through it: the physiology behind it, what the research says, and how it’s applied in practice. Made for exercise science and clinical exercise physiology students, and useful for anyone working in the field.
