THE
EPC
EXAMINATION
The ASEP Board of Certification of the
American Society of Exercise Physiologists is responsible for preparing
the EPC Examination and overseeing the grading. Candidates preparing
to take the examination can be aided by knowing its purpose and general
objectives. Information about the areas of academic knowledge, hands-on
skills, and abilities tested is also needed to prepare properly.
Successful completion of the certification examination is required to practice
as a "certified" Exercise Physiologist (EPC).
Purpose
of the Certification
The EPC examination is used by the ASEP
Board of Certification to measure the academic and technical competence
of exercise physiology candidates. To understand the importance of
the examination as a prerequisite for the EPC certificate, one must recognize
the significance of the certification. It is awarded to qualified
candidates in accordance with the objectives of the American Society of
Exercise Physiologists to professionalize exercise physiology. The certificate
is a measure of academic knowledge and practical abilities and thus, ensures
the professional competence of individuals offering exercise physiology
services to the public as professional exercise physiologists.
The primary objective of the EPC examination
is to test the candidate's competence in the profession of exercise physiology.
Such professional competence includes adequate academic and technical knowledge,
the ability to apply such knowledge skillfully and with good judgment,
and an understanding of professional, ethical responsibility.
Once a candidate has successfully completed the examination, he or she
is certified as an “Exercise Physiologist” and can, therefore, be legally
and professionally referred to as an “Exercise Physiologist Certified"
(EPC).
Since the EPC certificate is granted under
specific professional assumptions enacted in the public interest, it is
issued only to properly qualified persons. The public’s need for
assurance of professional competence on the part of those receiving the
EPC designation must be fully satisfied. The examination is also
expected to play a role in the licensing procedure by evaluating the candidate's
technical competence (including academic outcome knowledge and the application
of laboratory- and research-based knowledge) as professional exercise physiologists.
Questions selected for the examination are at a level suitable for testing
the candidates’ academic and hands-on competence.
The
EPC
Format
The EPC examination is given at least two
times a year, of which one exam will be either one day before the national
meeting or the day following. Requirements and application forms
can be obtained from the ASEP National Office. The written examination
is taken at the same location as the applied examination. The only
exception is when a candidate has successfully completed one part at that
location and the other part needs to be re-taken to complete certification
(which may be at a different location). Part I of the examination
consists of 200 multiple choice questions that use the four-option format.
Part II, the practical examination, consists of technical and hands-on
laboratory knowledge. It is recommended that any candidate who fails
the written examination re-take it as soon as possible. If the written
examination is passed and the applied examination is failed, the written
examination is valid for 2 years.
Part I:
Written Examination
Part I is administered over a four-hour
period. The use of multiple choice questions broadens the coverage
of the examination. Each multiple choice item consists of a stem,
which includes factual data or describes a situation, and four answers-options
-- the best answer and three distractors. The following example illustrates
a multiple choice item.
1. Engaging in a systemic,
aerobic training program for one year results in
a. significant increases in lean
muscle tissue
b. reduction in maximal heart rate and
cardiac output
c. increases in stroke volume at steady
state work
d. increases in afterload
Answer Sheet
1. a b (c)
d
Part
II: Applied Examination
This part of the examination is designed
to test the hands-on knowledge and application of exercise physiology using
equipment typically found in exercise physiology laboratories. Candidates
are given 2 hours to complete Part II of the examination. A candidate
should demonstrate competency in at least the following areas, although
not every area will always be tested:
1. Implement a specific exercise
stress test protocol in healthy and unhealthy populations, including an
understanding of risk stratification.
2. Demonstrate an understanding of contraindications,
risks, and safety precautions, along with the interpretation of appearance,
symptoms and significance of resting and exercise ECG patterns.
3. Collect and analyze submaximal and maximal
physiological data.
4. Determine and interpret blood pressure
at rest, during exercise and recovery following exercise on different ergometers;
and identify potential sources of error.
5. Demonstrate a knowledge of exercise
prescription and the ability to organize and administer exercise and fitness
programs.
6. Determine body composition and flexibility
measurements using standard laboratory equipment.
7. Demonstrate the ability to educate and/or
counsel individuals in starting fitness and endurance programs.
8. Demonstrate an effective and safe weight
lifting/conditioning program for normal and special populations.
9. Demonstrate special exercises addressing
the musculoskeletal and fitness needs of various age groups, obesity, and
those with low back conditions.
10. Demonstrate knowledge of supervision
and administration of health promotion and fitness programs.

GRADING
THE EPC EXAMINATION
Part I : Written
Examination
The score of 70% has been set as the passing
score for the multiple-choice questions. All tests are mechanically
graded by an optical scanning machine. Candidates are expected to
answer each question correctly to obtain credit.
Part II: Applied
Examination
The score of ‘pass’ or ‘fail’ has been
set as the only acceptable analysis of a candidate’s hands-on laboratory
knowledge and techniques. A designated ASEP ‘evaluator’ will make
the determination of pass or fail, depending upon a candidate’s performance
(both verbally and overtly in the laboratory setting).
RESULTS
The written and practical examinations
are scored through the ASEP National Office. The results of the written
and applied examinations are mailed directly to the candidate from the
ASEP National Office within 8 weeks following an examination.
A candidate must pass both parts to satisfy the certification requirements.
If only one part of the examination is passed, a candidate is allowed to
take the other part at a later date without having to retake the part already
passed. The “later date” is defined as no more than 2 years from
the date of passing a part of the examination.
CERTIFICATION
PERIOD
and Continuing
Education Credits
A candidate is certified for 5 years.
Recertification for a second 5-year period requires continuing education
credits to keep up with new and emerging trends. Twenty-five (25) continuing
education credits (CECs) are required to obtain recertification.
Earning CECs can be accomplished in several ways:
1. By earning five (5) CECs for
attendance at an ASEP National Meeting for a maximum of 15 CECs in any
one 5-year period;
2. By earning five (5) CECs for attendance
at other qualified professional organizations (approved* by ASEP) for a
maximum of 10 CECs in any one 5-year period;
3. By earning five (5) CECs for successfully
passing a continuing education self-test (found in the ASEP electronic
journals) for a maximum of 10 CECs in any one 5-year period; and
4. By earning five (5) CECs for taking
and receiving a passing grade in a college or university graduate level
exercise physiology course for a maximum of 10 CECs in any one 5-year period.
To keep current, a $50 renewal fee will be
assessed for each 5-year period. Specific documents should be sent
to the ASEP National Office. *To determine which professional organizations
qualify for CECs, call the ASEP National Office at: 218-723-6297 or email:

to review broadly via self-study and application of university core content.
3. Should take the examination as early
as possible after becoming eligible.
4. Should determine strengths and weaknesses
in the different parts of the examination and study accordingly.
5. Should formulate a rigorous plan of
study and review, setting forth the areas, parts, and topics to be covered
and the time to be spent on each.
6. Should acknowledge that daily
short study periods of two or three hours may be more productive than a
weekend marathon.
7. Should look to study all areas of the
examination and especially the parts with demonstrated inter-relatedness
where review for one enhances the preparation for the others.
8. Should study the example questions and
answers at the end of the booklet.
9. Should read and re-read the major parts
of the examination that are typical chapters in exercise physiology, kinesiology,
and sports nutrition textbooks.
10. Should not spend excessive review time
studying subjects that are considered strengths, but should concentrate
on the weakest areas.
Suggestions
for
Taking the Examination
The following are several suggestions for
improving examination performance, for example:
1. Be punctual. Arrive
at the examination room well in advance of the starting time.
2. Take supplies. Bring an adequate
number of pencils and erasers, including a calculator.
3. Budget time. Limit the
time spent on a single question and, if necessary, return to the question
if time permits.
4. Multiple choice answers.
All multiple-choice items should be answered because there is no penalty
for incorrect responses, and grades are based solely on the total number
of correct answers. It is important to pay strict attention to the
manner in which the multiple-choice question is written.
5. Read the question. Read
the entire question carefully. Underscore important data or facts
in the examination booklet before answering.
6. Fixed time for each session.
It is the candidate’s responsibility to be ready at the start of the period
and to stop writing when told to do so.
Penalties
Penalties will be imposed on any candidate
who is caught cheating before or during an examination. These penalties
may include expulsion from this and future examination sessions.
A candidate must hand in the examination handbook and answer papers before
leaving the examination room. The examination will not be graded
unless everything is handed in to the attending ASEP official.
STEP
4
Passing the
Examination
A candidate will receive the examination
grade approximately eight weeks after the examination. To pass an
examination, a candidate must receive a grade of at least 70% on Part I
(the multiple choice questions), and a “pass” on Part II (the hands-on
laboratory session). If a candidate passes both parts of the examination
and complies with all applicable ASEP examination rules, a certificate
will be issued to the candidate. The candidate’s name will be entered
into the ASEP web page designated for the EPC (Exercise Physiologist Certified).
If a candidate does not pass the examination, an application for reexamination
is possible the following year.
To protect the confidentiality of a candidate,
the score will be sent to the designated address given to the ASEP official
by the candidate at the time of testing. At no time will a score
be released by telephone, FAX, or email.
Failing Scores
Requests for rescoring a candidate’s failing
score must be made in writing to the ASEP National Office within 60 days
following the release of the scores. Requests made after 60 days
will not be honored.
