Professionalization of Exercise Physiology (MS Word doc) Boone, T., et al. Download the free PowerPoint presentation the ASEP Board of Directors Editorial Editorial: Industrial Wellness and the Exercise Physiologist Eric Durak Over the past decade, one of the missions of ASEP has been in job creation for Exercise Physiologists outside of the hospital setting. Although there are some bright spots in the hospital wellness realm, other avenues may be opening up for those who are willing to look in the right places. One such area is in industrial wellness and fitness. Not to be confused with corporate wellness programming, industrial health program usually are aligned with workers compensation programs (WC) and reducing costs associated with WC claims. Over the past twenty years, employee groups in manufacturing and facilities management have incurred ever-increasing rises in costs associated with injuries, repetitive strain conditions, and psychological stress-related lost work days, hospitalizations, and medical costs. The application of wellness and exercise programming is made simple from the standpoint that reducing costs is the main outcome so all programming must be geared toward that end goal. This gives the EP the ability to cast all wellness, exercise, relaxation, nutrition, and education programs into cost-reduction aspects not just health improvement. Why is this important? After years of detailing the benefits of exercise from health improvement standpoints (reduced cholesterol, improved blood pressure, reduced blood glucose levels, etc.), it is the area of cost-containment that may give exercise and wellness programming the impetus it needs to become a driving force in healthcare. Consider the effects of a wellness and safety program at the University of California over the past two years. After wrestling with rising WC rates over five years, UC Santa Barbara implemented an injury reduction program that concentrated on exercise programming (light resistance training, stretching, noon walking), weight control programming, stress reduction (using the Resp-E-Rate system), and in-house chair massage therapy (15 minute sessions). Safety inspections and lectures are also part of the program. Over the course of the first year, attendance in wellness programs was approximately 50% of the 350 Facilities Management staff. Injuries were reduced by almost 70%, pain levels (measured by McGill scale) were reduced by almost 50% in staff who used in-house post therapy programs (stretching, pressure point massage, ice therapy), and most important monies paid to workers comp. Physicians visits, surgeries, and other related costs were reduced. One example is repetitive strain syndrome, or Carpal Tunnel. There were over 30 cases of this disorder diagnosed (and surgically repaired) over three years prior to the implementation of the IRPP. Over the past two years since the program began, there have been no (zero) cases of RS /CTS diagnosed in any FM staff. Back injuries are of a major financial concern to most industrial businesses. The costs over five years at UCSB averaged over $45,000 (one year over $350,000). Within the first year of the IRPP, the total expense of low back problems was just over $11,000 a significant reduction over previous years. It is clear that in many businesses, exercise programs are becoming an important part of improving employee morale but with more evidence coming to light that these programs save substantial amounts of workers compensation dollars, it is something for E.P.s to think about in terms of turning their talent to industries that could use their expertise not only in exercise prescription, but in managing those wellness programs to cost savings, as well. Therefore, as part of the continuing mission of ASEP, industrial wellness programs across the country should be targeted as potential employment (and contracting) opportunities for E.Ps who are interested in both clinical and business / organizational aspects of program development. Future articles will address specific programs and organizations who should work with exercise professionals in terms of improving health status of their staff, and improving their bottom line as well. Eric Durak is both the Wellness Supervisor at UC Santa Barbara in the Injury Prevention program with Facilities Management, and President of Medical Health and Fitness a national clinical consulting and education firm in Santa Barbara, CA.

It is not to be taken as healthcare advice. Please do not submit questions of a personal nature (e.g. fitness programs, nutrition advice solicitation, etc.) Thanks. Q.) I'm taking a Physiology of Exercise course this Fall. What do all these lab activities have to do with earning a paycheck? A.) A similar topic has surfaced here before. In short, those lab activities 1.) Help you develop skills and gain familiarity with assessment equipment - equipment you may indeed use upon graduation. 2.) Reinforce the "book learning" you acquire during class lectures by allowing you to actually witness biochemistry, physiology, etc. and 3.) Help you develop critical thinking and scientific abilities that don't necessarily come when you are merely handed a stack of the latest professional guidelines form whichever organization your professor happens to value. Becoming a critical thinker will help in every facet of your professional (and even personal) life. Once a wise man said: "A good university does not teach one what to think, it teaches him how to think. Exercise physiology instructors - and like minded professors in related disciplines - can really shine in this regard. We've said it before. Value your laboratory training; it makes you unique! The students of many professions don't get to see the kinds of things that you do every week in your lab sessions! Why ASEP?

EOE Body Composition Analyzer Direct/ Segmental/ Multi-Frequency Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis www.biospaceamerica.com Modern BIA Technology you can trust! BIOSPACE, Inc., located in Beverly Hills, California, introduces a new body composition analyzer, the InBody320. With more advanced BIA technology, InBody320 is the first segmental body composition analyzer using multi-frequency for professional use. Traditional BIA technologyWith conventional BIA technology, bioimpedance is measured either from hand to foot (R-type) or from foot to foot (T-type). These types only partially measure bioimpedance of the body. Boimpedance of the trunk segment is not measured by most BIA technology leaving segments of the body unaccounted for in the body composition analysis. Direct/ Segmental/ Multi-frequency Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (DSMF-BIA) InBody320 divides the body into five segments -4 limbs and a trunk- and measures impedance of each segment at multiple frequencies (5, 50 and 250 kHz) targeting the whole body as shown in Figure 3. Therefore, the DSMF-BIA method shows a high level of accuracy. The extreme accuracy makes InBody320 possible to monitor even slightest compositional changes during the process of medical treatment, rehabilitation, and exercise programs. No Statistical Estimations With conventional BIA, results are distorted by statistics, based on personal data input such as age, sex, body type, etc. Conventional BIA devices only partially measure body composition and the rest is statistically determined. Although it gives reasonable results for people of the norm, its accuracy is very low for children, elderly, patients and athletes. However, InBody320s DSMF-BIA technology has overcome the limitations of the conventional BIA method. For it accurately assesses intracellular water using multi-frequency and measures bioimpedance of trunk as well as the rest of the body. The InBody320 uses actual measurements to yield accurate results regardless of empirical estimation.
