The ASEPNewsletter is devoted to informative articles and news items about exercise physiology. It is a monthly magazine of news, opinions, exercise physiology professionals, and events that shape exercise physiology. While it contains views and opinions of the Editor who oversees the ASEP Internet Websites, visitors can have a voice as well. We welcome interested practitioners, researchers, and academicians to e-mail the Publisher their thoughts and ideas or respond directly via the ASEP Public Forum.

Duluth, MN 55811

Theme:
Professionalization of Exercise Physiology
and Exercise Physiology Research 


Dear Colleague,

I am pleased to invite you to the first annual American Society of Exercise Physiologists meeting and to provide you with the ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR ABSTRACTS.

The meeting will be Oct. 2 and 3, 1998, at The College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, MN. Presented by the Department of Exercise Physiology at St. Scholastica, the gathering will provide:
· an overview of Exercise Physiology;
· methods to professionalize the discipline; and the
· opportunity for researchers to present their data.

To facilitate professional and scientific interaction, the Organizing Committee has arranged a distinctive program of speakers, oral presentations, and poster sessions. The program is designed for all practitioners in exercise physiology. The setting chosen for this meeting is Duluth, MN. This city is in the heart of God’s country. Early October is usually the height of the autumn color season, and St. Scholastica’s campus on a ridge overlooking Lake Superior is never more beautiful.

I invite you to attend and encourage your active participation. I look forward to welcoming you to the beautiful and exciting city of Duluth for an instructive, productive, adventurous, and enjoyable meeting.
With best wishes,
Tommy Boone, PhD, MPH
ASEP President

The "Certified" Exercise Physiologist (EPC)

In the near future, after adoption by ASEP of a national certification test for all graduates of an approved exercise physiology curriculum, the Certified Exercise Physiologist will be recognized as an educated professional with specialized academic (college/university) training in research and application of exercise physiology to a variety of career options.



You have the power!

You have the powerto make exercise physiology a profession of choice with respect and value to the public. If your response is "yes, but..." then if you have not applied for membership, you have in effect given away your power. We believe that there is no reason to give it away to organizations that are not exercise physiology driven. Hence, when you hear yourself and others saying "yes, but...what about this or that sports medicine organization?" What if the organization did not exist, would you then belong to ASEP? Is the sports medicine organization worth the professionalization of exercise physiology?



The 1,2,3,4.......
Exercise physiologists need to stop wasting time.
Procrastination will keep us from reaching our goals/objectives in a timely fashion..
Don't put off becoming a member!

Let us think ahead and arrange our schedules in order of importance and need.


"No one plans to fail.
They just fail to plan."

The bottom line, we must plan for our future. We need to know where we are going. Why not get involved and help with this worthy cause. Get others involved. Do some positive networking. Focus on what can be, not what is. Be positive and get out from under the idea that "bigger is better" thinking. So what if ASEP is a small organization versus other sports medicine groups? The prize is not in the numbers unless the number per se is more important than the product. Exercise physiologists must find ways to customize who they are and what they do to get where they want to go. What is missing in our thinking today, regarding ASEP, is where it will take us in the future. We need to focus on the future and dream the dream that no one has thought of yet. Don't sit around waiting for others to do it for you. Get with ASEP!



Thedrive to win overcomes all weaknesses. Dreams are tomorrows reality. Remember those who dreamed to fly! What about putting a man on the moon? Or, better yet, is it possible to have an organization just for exercise physiologists? ANSWER: You bet it is possible. In fact, it exists now. How can you help exercise physiologists who belong to ASEP? Well, the answer is simple if we understand the "3" rules of succeeding by our own efforts.
Rule #1: We are the professionals who can solve our problems.

Rule #2:We must want to solve our problems.

Rule #3: We don't have to reinforce what we have been.


What about failures?
Remember, it is OK to fail as long as we keep trying. ASEP is small now but it will grow! There will be failures. But, the reality is that the quality of our profession will depend on the quality and drive of our thinking. I believe it was Abraham Lincoln who:
  • failed in business in 1831,
  • defeated for legislature in 1832,
  • failed in business in 1833,
  • suffered a nervous breakdown in 1836,
  • defeated for speaker in 1838,
  • defeated for elector in 1840,
  • defeated for Congress in 1843 and 1848,
  • defeated for Senate in 1855,
  • defeated for Vice President in 1856,
  • defeated for Senate in 1858..............
...........before being elected President of the United States in 1860. Hence, failures are nothing more than steps toward success.

All we have to do is keep our thoughts positive. To this end, now that we have a dream, let us begin living it. Now is the time to support ASEP, not later.


How can you make it happen? Again, 1,2,3,4....
1. Get involved. 
2. Just do it! 
3. Make time in your schedule for it. 
4. Commit yourself to seeing it through till the end.
