Speaking the Truth about Exercise Science and Exercise Physiology Boone, T., et al. Download the free PowerPoint presentation the ASEP Board of Directors Editorial <> Editorial: Who is an Exercise Physiologist? Matthew Lehn, Past ASEP President Over the past few years, there has been an ongoing discussion about who can be considered an exercise physiologist. Unfortunately, most of this discussion revolves around the bachelor or master-prepared individual. However, this discussion tends to overlook many factors that also regard the future of Exercise Physiology. We can begin this discussion by looking at other professions. In the health care setting, there are many health professions with varying degrees. Physical therapists are generally masters prepared (moving towards doctoral), as are speech therapists and occupational therapists. However, the majority of professions in the health care setting do not require this academic preparation. Professions such as respiratory therapy, dietetics, nuclear medicine and nursing generally require a bachelors degree, sometimes less. [Ed. Note: Dietetics is debatedly moving toward minimal MS preparation for RDs, however.] Nonetheless, these professions are thriving. In health care, the most dominate profession is Nursing. There is no debate over who a nurse is, regardless of level of degree. Many factors contribute to this, such as licensure and standardized curriculum. However, in the field of Exercise Physiology, we have no licensure or standardized curriculum. Therefore, it is short sighted to presume that a bachelors prepared exercise physiologist is or is not capable of performing many of the same job functions as a masters prepared individual. It is true, and alarming, that many bachelor-prepared students are not able to step into the clinical setting, but there are also many excellent undergraduate programs that offer outstanding clinical skills and valuable internship experience to prepare students for the job market. At a minimum, undergraduate programs should offer a generally acceptable curriculum that includes anatomy and kinesiology, introductory and advanced exercise physiology, exercise testing, exercise prescription, ECG interpretation, practicum and internship experience in the clinical setting and other important and relevant classes. Unfortunately, there are many programs that graduate students without these basic classes. These students are then applying for jobs in settings in which they are ill prepared to work, and often calling themselves exercise physiologists. But what about the student who graduates from a program that offers these classes and fully prepares their students to work and excel in the clinical setting? Why do so many think that we cannot refer to these professionals as exercise physiologists? Additionally, to presume that a graduate program fulfills everything that is needed for the preparation of exercise physiologists is false. There are many outstanding graduate programs that produce excellent exercise physiologists. Unfortunately, there are too many graduate programs producing "exercise physiologists" that are not prepared to enter the clinical setting. However, we consider them exercise physiologists even though they may lack knowledge of EKGs, stress testing, or had little internship experience. Confounding this issue is the fact that we continue to produce students with similar education but dozens of different degrees. If someone graduates with a masters degree in Sport and Exercise Studies, are they an exercise physiologist? If someone graduates with a masters degree in Biological Science, are they an exercise physiologist? If someone graduates with a masters degree in Sport and/or Strength and Conditioning, are they an exercise physiologist? What is the difference between an exercise physiologist, a cardiopulmonary rehabilitation specialist, and an exercise specialist? Anyone who works in the clinical setting views nursing as the model of success. Nurses graduate with degrees innursing! They dont have degrees called nursing specialist, rehabilitation nurse, clinical nurse; they are all nurses. The distinction is not made for a bachelors prepared nurse versus a masters prepared nurse. While licensure helps in this process, this can be done because there is standardization among curriculums of nursing programs. Yet they still benefit from advanced degrees through clinical ladders, specialized certifications and additional career opportunities. Ultimately, the losers in the current structure are the students. They often enter the job market ill equipped for the job they are seeking. Many prospective employers do not understand what prepares a candidate is for a potential position. Additionally, any exercise physiologist who has to work with a human resources department is challenged by the proposition that there are many job titles, but no agreement on qualification or pay structure. We are the only profession in the health care setting that still does not know what to call our degree(s) or the professions working in it. Moving forward, we must focus more critically on the academic preparation students are receiving in their preparation to work as exercise physiologists in the clinical setting. Future discussions as to who is an exercise physiologist is must focus on their preparation, not the level of their degree. We must continue to work to standardize programs, both at the undergraduate and graduate level, so that students and employers can have a clear understanding as to the role each can play at their facility. We must raise the expectation of the bachelors prepared EP and force schools turning out ill prepared students to change their programs. Exercise physiologists should be prepared to enter the job market with the same stature, responsibility and pay as other bachelor prepared professions in the health care setting. <> Ask the Professor: Your Inside Scoop on Tough Questions Note: Ask the Professor is intended for informational purposes only. 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 starting school this Fall. What career opportunities will await me as an EP five years from now when I graduate? A.) Academic advisors the world over are probably addressing this understandable question right now. In very general terms, a student must decide where his or her interests lie within the field. Is it cardiac rehabilitation? Another type of rehabilitation? Sports nutrition? A leadership role in research? Wellness and prevention beyond that of a personal trainer? Each path is likely to require not only a university degree or two, but also specialized certification/ licensure. It's worth noting that these often come from academic departments or organizations other than the exercise science department in which a student begins his training. (We'll leave discussions about why one wouldn't simply skip the exercise science step for another day.) Keep an eye on what these related professions are requiring. University education in a standardized curriculum - or at least one that provides the core competencies you will need - provides a solid basis. Licensure cannot be underestimated. The certificates (or certifications, which can actually be different from certificates) help make one hirable outside of academia - or at least to stand out as specialized in some way. But caveat emptor. There are weak academic programs and useless certificates to be had. Your best defense as you experience each course and see "what's on the menu" for your career, is to talk with or even shadow professionals in each specialty.

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.
