Topic: Exercise physiology

  
 Exercise physiology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Exercise physiologists tend to specialise into either health and fitness or exercise rehabilitation streams with exercise used as a treatment strategy in physical rehabilitation, prevention of disease, and work conditioning.
An Exercise Physiologist is a person who has an academic degree in exercise physiology, or who is certified by ASEP to practice exercise physiology [via the Exercise Physiologist Certified exam (EPC)], or who has a doctorate degree with an academic degree or emphasis in exercise physiology from an accredited college or university.
Topics studied in exercise physiology include human energy transfer, human energy expenditure, evaluation of energy-generating capacities, the nervous system pulmonary system, the cardiovascular system, the musculoskeletal system, endocrine system (including hormones) and the interaction of these, plus training methods, environmental effects on physiology, and ergogenic aids.

 Bicycling Exercise Physiology
As a result, exercise physiologists started to experiment with trained cyclists who were allowed, at some times in the experiments, to use the cadence that they preferred and to even, in some experiments, ride their own racing bicycles instead of the laboratory ergometers.
Exercise physiologists base much of their thinking on the theory that success depends upon efficient technique.
Cyclists should be skeptical of all recommendations that have been made by exercise physiologists, for these are generally based on scientific theories that do not apply to the conditions of cycling.

 Allied Health Profession of the Month: August 2004, Exercise Physiology
An Exercise Physiologist is a person who has an academic degree in exercise physiology, or who is certified by ASEP to practice exercise physiology [via the Exercise Physiologist Certified exam (EPC)], or who has a doctorate degree with an academic degree or emphasis in exercise physiology from an accredited college or university.
Founded in 1997, ASEP is a non-profit organization of professional exercise physiologists and students that are responsible for defining exercise physiology as a healthcare profession responsible to a code of ethics, accrediting educational programs, and standards of professional practice.
Increasingly, exercise physiology is recognized as a vital member of the allied health professions.

Now that ASEP exists as the professional society of exercise physiologists with a code of ethics, accreditation guideslines to correct the mess, board certification that is linked to the exercise physiology body of knowledge, and a standards of practice that requires accountability, there are two ways to be an exercise physiologists.
The real difference is who is an applied exercise physiologist and who is an academic exercise physiologist with their knowledge from education (university) and lab based research studies.
To be an exercise physiologist, it is reasonable thinking therefore that a person must have an academic degree in exercise physiology.
