"In as much as the physiology of exercise is actually the total physiology of a nonresting, nonsupine individual, all areas of physiology are essential because there is no physiological function, regulation, or control that is not vital (i.e., exercise physiology = physiology in toto)." -- Loring B. Rowell, Ph.D.

"[Q] Where do you see the exercise science field (particularly your area of greatest interest) heading in the next 20 years? [A] This field may play a more vital role in the biological sciences than we had once imagined. If the basic life scientist’s rush to apply their expertise to provide functional meaning to the genetic code, as is expected, who will be left to teach basic human biology and physiology? Who will explore the functional consequences of aging, for example? Who will discover what controls breathing and the circulation during exercise? Who will do the systematic, integrative science that reveals how whole organ systems and organisms actually work? These questions are not likely to be answered by reductionists (e.g., molecular biologists) working upward from molecules to cells to systems – this is in the wrong direction!" -- Loring B. Rowell, Ph.D. [As cited in McArdle, Katch, & Katch’s Exercise Physiology: Energy, Nutrition, and Human Performance, 5th Edition. (2001)]
