It is certain that the future of exercise physiology will be different. It may not be so obvious today, but with the founding of ASEP exercise physiology is finally on the track to professionalism. Clearly this has been a long time in coming. Now, exercise physiologists can distance themselves from exercise science. Imagine exercise physiologists as healthcare professionals, not trainers. A person’s career can be built on such thinking. It is uplifting, and it is the right thing to do. Accreditation and Board Certification will help gain control over the practice of exercise as medicine. This is exactly why exercise physiologists must become agents of change.
