Part of understanding the power of exercise is movement by an exercise prescription defined by an exercise physiologist. The world of exercise has changed from "just do it" to "exercise is medicine." And, as such, as with all prescriptive medicine, exercise should be prescribed. The leadership in this regards ought to be the Board Certified exercise physiologist who has met all the prescriptive facets of exercise by passing the "Exercise Physiologist Certified" exam. The courage to admit this thinking is the beginning of the future for exercise physiology. We should celebrate this new culture evolving in regards to exercise and exercise physiology. The wars and battles before us remain our responsibility, which is not new to all young professions. All we need to do is keep walking the talk, and our vision will become our reality. |

ASEP: A Healthcare Organization
Submitted by TBoone on Mon, 2007-06-04 23:03.Our brains tell us to exercise, but often we don't listen. Unless we begin to listen to the need to exercise to strengthen our muscles and bones, not to mention the cardiovascular system, we are likely to stumble and fall victim of the negative influences of risk factors for all kinds of diseases.
The very word "exercise" is part of our title, Exercise Physiologist. The newly emerging emphasis on "exercise prescription" is one of our key means to identifying with our future. After all, exercise is medicine, right? Exercise is therefore the language of medicine. And, in fact, in practical terms, this makes the ASEP organization a healthcare organization.
The glue that should hold us together is the ASEP Standards of Practice that addresses the exercise prescription; its purpose and implementation. All we need to do is believe in ourselves, keep passionate about what we do, and put our client's well-being in before everything else. When we do these things, along with improving communication among ourselves, what lies ahead is a great future for all of us.
Further, the final factor of huge importance is the ASEP board certification. It is our credibility badge that informs others that we are self-regulated professionals who understand the importance of a Code of Ethics and the spirit of professionalism. So, join in with us and embrace the movement of ASEP forward, one person at a time.
In the twenty-first century, all of us must learn the value of a professional organization if we are to successfully position ourselves among other professionals. Personal credibility and organizational capability go hand-in-hand.
