The American Society of Exercise Physiologists was founded in 1997 to unite exercise physiologists and promote the professional development of exercise physiology. The Society serves to protect the well being of exercise physiologists by enhancing the recognition of their work and educating the public about their importance and functions in the athletic, fitness, allied health and medical fields. ASEP also fosters the exchange of ideas and research among exercise physiologists, and provides a forum for the continual advancement of the profession. The Society holds a national meeting annually. The first national meeting was held at the College of St. Scholastica, Duluth, MN on October 2-3, 1998. ASEP publishes two peer-reviewed electronic journals, the Journal of Exercise Physiologyonline, the Professionalization of Exercise Physiologyonline, and the ASEPNewsletter. The ASEP web site serves as a “sounding board” for issues important to exercise physiologists. For more information about ASEP, please visit the Internet site: www.asep.org Among the goals and objectives of ASEP is the development of standards for the profession of exercise physiology. Such standards include a formal Code of Ethics, Standards of Professional Practice, Exercise Physiologist Certified (EPC) exam, and a nationwide accreditation program. While certification evaluates the competence of the individual, accreditation is a system for ensuring that the academic programs preparing students for the exercise physiology profession are of a high quality.Work began on the development of the accreditation program in early 1998, shortly after the inception of ASEP in 1997. Through the collaborative efforts of exercise physiologists from around the country, the accreditation “guidelines” manual was submitted for final approval of the Board of Directors at the 1999 national meeting. The manual represents a compilation of two years of work by exercise physiologists who have identified the minimal standards that are acceptable for educating students for a career in this profession. Academic accreditation is an important and essential component to any profession. The Accreditation Committee of ASEP desires to work with your academic program to ensure that standards are met and graduating students are worthy of the title “exercise physiologist”. Accreditation benefits everyone: academic programs are critically evaluated and improved, students are better prepared for certification exams and the workforce, and employers are more confident that they are hiring competent professionals. In time, students will gravitate to ASEP-accredited programs, as there will be little incentive to enroll in a program not recognized by ASEP. We encourage you to carefully read this accreditation manual, support the professional development of exercise physiology, and seek ASEP accreditation.
The ASEP Accreditation Committee served to collect data on the processes of academic accreditation and formulated a plan for the accreditation of exercise physiology programs. The ASEP Board of Accreditation approved and administers the plan outlined in this manual. Objectives of the ASEP Accreditation Committee 1. Establish a suggested course curriculum to serve as a guideline for the academic preparation of students seeking a degree in exercise physiology. 2. Establish a list of required learning objectives that will serve as the basis for verifying an academic program’s credibility and comprehensiveness for preparing exercise physiology professionals. 2a. Establish a list of required cognitive objectives.3. Work in conjunction with the ASEP Certification Committee such that the content of the certification examination corresponds with and is a good representation of the required learning objectives established for the academic programs. 4. Promote and implement the ASEP Accreditation Program. 4a. Establish an evaluation procedure for assessing the suitability of academic programs that has integrity and is credible, yet is practical to implement nationwide. Purpose Statement and Purpose Statement The purpose of the ASEP Board of Accreditation is to establish academic standards for the exercise physiology profession, verify the credibility, integrity, and quality of academic programs that prepare students for professional work in exercise physiology, and identify institutions that have attained the ASEP standard. ASEP Board of Accreditation The ASEP Board of Accreditation works cooperatively with the educational institutions to ensure that graduates entering the exercise physiology profession are professionally prepared. The 10-member Board is comprised of representation from the college and university communities, the clinical cardiopulmonary rehabilitation sector, pure and applied exercise physiology research, the fitness industry, and health/wellness promotion. The vast array of professional experience and expertise of the Board in leadership and exercise physiology professionalism provides assurance that accreditation is fair, reliable, and effective. Accreditation Objectives 1. Define the accepted standards of academic responsibility of an institution voluntarily seeking accreditation. 2. Through accreditation, demonstrate levels of academic performance, integrity, and quality that entitle exercise physiologists to the confidence of the profession, the communities they serve, and the general public. Process for Achieving the Objectives An institution that wishes to seek ASEP accreditation of an existing or a developing exercise physiology education program must show evidence of having met the required curriculum consisting of: 1. Basic science core
1.1 Curriculum: The curriculum should consist of:
Example: Suggested Courses in the Basic Science Core (29 units) Math Biology Chemistry Physics Computer Science 1.3 Exercise Physiology Core: ASEP requires that the content listed in Section 2 and the learning objectives stated in Sections 3 and 4 are taught. The content and objectives can be met from a variety of course offerings typically taught within exercise physiology. However, it is strongly recommended that at least 24 units of exercise physiology-related courses be taken in order to meet these requirements. A sample of a suggested exercise physiology core is presented below. Example: Suggested Courses in the Exercise Physiology Core First aid & CPR (2) 1.4 Suggested Electives: The career options for a student of exercise physiology are varied and numerous. The basic science core and the exercise physiology core are intended to provide comprehensive, but general, academic preparation for all exercise physiologists. The basic science core and exercise physiology core should be supplemented with elective courses that compliment the student’s career goals and interests. While ASEP does not place any requirements on what elective courses should be included in the curriculum, the following are some suggestions for various subdisciplines or common career paths of exercise physiologists.
1.5 Total Units: The degree (emphasis) in exercise physiology should represent a comprehensive area of study. ASEP requires that the total units (basic science core, exercise physiology core, general education courses, and electives) for an accredited program be a minimum of 120 semester hours. 1.6 Summary:The curriculum requirements imposed by ASEP are minimal so that academic programs have the freedom to address the required content areas (Section 2) and learning objectives (Sections 3 and 4) in ways that best suit their needs and constraints. Adhering to the course examples presented in this section would meet the curriculum requirements, most likely address all the learning objectives, and be feasible to complete in the traditional 4-year period: Basic Science Core = 29 units (11 required) Academic programs seeking ASEP accreditation must teach the broad content areas listed below. The course listing in parenthesis refers to the course in which this content area would most likely be found. 2.1 Basic first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills (following the procedures approved by certifying agencies such as the American Red Cross or the American Heart Association). It is recommended that those seeking a specialization in cardiac rehabilitation pursue advanced cardiac life support (ACLS). Note: Verification of current certification waives this requirement for students. (First Aid & CPR) 2.2 Basic but comprehensive overview of the structure and function of the systems of the human body to include all the systems of the body: circulatory, immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive, skeletal, muscular, nervous, and endocrine systems. (Human Anatomy & Physiology) 2.3 A detailed study of the skeletal and muscular systems to include identification of the origin, insertion, and action of the major muscles. Students should become proficient in the use of directional and movement terminology and be able to classify movement levers and identify the plane/axis as well as the agonists and antagonists in a movement. (Movement Anatomy or Kinesiology) 2.4 Advanced application of muscle mechanics and physiology to sport and human movement patterns to include the analysis of kinematics and kinetics, linear and angular kinematics and kinetics, loads and injuries of joints, and movement in a fluid medium.

(Advanced Exercise Physiology) 2.8 Practice using commonly used field and laboratory testing devices for the purpose of fitness assessment, clinical analysis, collection of research data, and the improvement of sport performance. (Exercise Physiology Laboratory) 2.9 A study of chemistry and molecular biology as it relates to exercise to include basic genetics, bioenergetics, enzyme regulation, catabolism and synthesis of different fuels during exercise, and the interactions between liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue metabolism during exercise. (Exercise Biochemistry) 2.10 A study of the six fundamental nutrients – carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, water – and their role/importance in exercise, as well as ergogenic aids and supplementation, weight gain/loss/maintenance, eating disorders, nutritional fads and consumer nutrition/food labeling. (Sports Nutrition) 2.11 A detailed study of the anatomy of the heart and electrical conduction system to include preparing a subject for a 12-lead ECG and reading a 12-lead ECG to include rate, rhythm, heart blocks, axis, hypertrophy, and injury. (Electrocardiography) 2.12 Practical study of submaximal and maximal exercise tests using a variety of testing apparatus to include contraindications for testing, testing procedures, guidelines for stopping a test, interpretation of the test data, and exercise recommendations. (Exercise Testing & Prescription) 2.13 Introduction to organizing, analyzing, and presenting data with basic descriptive (measures of central tendency and variance or dispersion) and inferential (t-tests, ANOVA, and simple prediction/regression) statistics; the use of computer applications (SPSS, SAS, etc.) should be encouraged. (Introductory Statistics) 2.14 “Walk students through” the basics of conducting research to include the formulation of an idea, the planning of a study, the collection of data, the analysis of data, and the presentation of the results. Basic research concepts such as quantitative versus qualitative research, hypothesis testing, and controlling for extraneous variables should be introduced. (Research Design) 2.15 Provide supervised practical experience(s) in the specialization area in which the student anticipates a career. A diary/log should be recorded with comments relative to what was good and bad about the experience. (Internship)

An academic program must demonstrate that 90% (13 of 15) of the objectives are being taught for ASEP accreditation. The student should be able to: 4.1 Calibrate commonly used testing apparatus (bicycle ergometer, treadmill, and scale). 4.2 Prepare a laboratory for testing and take basic pre-test measurements (temperature, barometric pressure, and humidity). 4.3 Identify contraindications to exercise testing and make appropriate risk stratification based on health screening information. 4.4 Palpate resting and exercise heart rate. 4.5 Assess resting and exercise blood pressure using manual sphygmomanometry. 4.6 Conduct a variety of submaximal tests that estimate aerobic capacity, using tests and exercise modes appropriate for the client (examples include Astrand or YMCA bicycle ergometer test, YMCA or NYU step test, Cooper 12-min. run or Rockport walk). 4.7 Estimate energy expenditure, workload, and oxygen consumption by mathematical calculation of metabolic prediction equations. 4.8 Prepare a client for a 12-lead ECG and record a resting and exercise 12-lead ECG. 4.9 Read and systematically interpret an ECG to identify rate, rhythm, axis, blocks, and injury. 4.10 Conduct a maximal graded exercise test using a protocol and exercise mode appropriate for the client. 4.11 Detect the ventilation threshold and use established criteria to determine if maximal oxygen consumption was achieved. 4.12 Conduct commonly used tests of static (hand grip dynamometry) and dynamic (1RM) muscular strength. 4.13 Assess flexibility using a variety of commonly used tools, such as a goniometer and a sit-and-reach box. 4.14 Assess body composition by means of skinfold measurements or hydrostatic weighing. 4.15 Conduct commonly used tests of anaerobic and explosive power, such as the Wingate test and the vertical jump test.
5.1 Faculty:ASEP accreditation requires that there be at least one exercise physiologist with a terminal degree (Ph.D. or equivalent) employed as a full-time faculty member within the exercise physiology program. Furthermore, a significant portion of the courses taught within the exercise physiology core should be taught by an exercise physiologist with a terminal degree. 5.2 Internship:The internship is an integral part of developing the exercise physiology student into a professional. Regardless of the specialty area of the internship (i.e., health/fitness, cardiac rehabilitation), ASEP requires that the on-site supervisor have a minimum of a B.S. with an emphasis in exercise physiology from an ASEP-accredited program or a B.S. with additional supporting certification if not from an ASEP-accredited program (e.g., nurse, physical therapist, etc. with appropriate certification for the specific internship). A graduate degree in exercise physiology or a related field (e.g., medical, nutrition, etc.) with a background in exercise physiology is preferred for an on-site internship supervisor. 5.3 Class Size: ASEP does not stipulate a maximal student/teacher ratio. However, this will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Excessive numbers of students in a course or section hinder the learning process, and limits should be placed on class size that correspond with the particular course and facilities. The equipment available will limit class size in laboratory courses. 5.4 Facilities/Equipment:There are no explicit requirements established for the facilities and equipment that must be maintained by an exercise physiology program. However, the facilities and equipment must be sufficient to support the required cognitive learning objectives (see Section 3) and the laboratory skill objectives (see Section 4). The facilities and the amount of equipment should adequately support the number of students in the program. Facilities and equipment will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
SECTION 6 6.1 Letter of Intent: The department chair or program director of the exercise physiology program must submit a “letter of intent” with their “self-study” materials. This letter should state a desire to be evaluated and accredited by ASEP and indicate a commitment to developing and maintaining standards set forth by ASEP. 6.2 Self-Study: ASEP requires that the program completes and submits a detailed self-study. Ten (10) copies of all materials must be submitted so that it can be distributed to accreditation committee members and kept on file at the ASEP national office. The self-study should include the following: 1) An overview of the exercise physiology program. This overview must include documentation that a minimum of 120 semester units are required for graduation, 11 semester units are required in the basic sciences (see Section 1), an exercise physiology course is required, as well as a 6-unit internship.6.3 Applicaton Fee: An application fee of $1000 is due with the submission of the self-study. This fee will support the flight, room, and meal expenses of one onsite reviewer. 6.4 Accreditation Fee: An annual fee of $500 will be assessed to the program to maintain ASEP Accreditation. This fee will support the administrative costs of accreditation and help fund onsite visits (audits). The fee is due every 12 months following the identification of the initial accreditation date. 6.5 Notification: For programs making their initial application for accreditation, the program director will be notified about acceptance status by the ASEP Accreditation Committee within six months from the date of submission for accreditation. The accreditation committee will send a written report of their comments.
7.1 Random Review: Ten percent of ASEP-accredited programs will be randomly selected annually for an onsite review (audit) to inspect the program and facilities first-hand and verify that the requirements are being met. 7.2 Notification of Review: Due to expenses that may be incurred with an onsite review, the program to be visited will be notified one year in advance of the visit so that it may budget accordingly. 7.3 Timing of Review: All onsite reviews will take place while school is in session. 7.4 Length of Review: The review team will be onsite for a minimum of 1 day but not more than 2 days. 7.5 Number of Reviews: Onsite reviews will be random, but a program will not be audited more than twice in a ten year period. If a program has not been selected randomly after six years, it will automatically receive an onsite visit the following year. Thus, all ASEP accredited programs will receive at least one onsite visit in a seven-year period but not more than two audits in a ten-year period. 7.6 Review Team: Depending on the circumstances, the review team will consist of either one ASEP member who is a member of the Board of Accreditation or two ASEP members with at least one of the two being a member of the Board of Accreditation. None of the reviewers will have any affiliation with the program being audited. 7.7 Evaluation Decision: Within one month of the onsite visit, the review team will submit a summary of its findings and recommendations to the ASEP Board of Accreditation. The Board will then vote on whether the program passed or failed the audit. Any Board member affiliated with the program in question will not be able to cast a vote. At least two-thirds of the Board must cast a vote, and the decision will be the result of the majority of the votes cast. A written evaluation with notification of a successful or failed audit will be sent to the program within three months of the onsite visit. 7.8 Failed Review: In the event that an academic program is deemed unsatisfactory, it will be placed on “accreditation probation” for a period of two years. During or at the immediate conclusion of this two-year probationary period, a report detailing the improvements made to the program and the readiness for a follow-up visit must be submitted to the Board of Accreditation. A follow-up onsite review will be conducted. Failure to make the necessary improvements or an unsatisfactory follow-up review will result in the loss of ASEP accreditation. 7.9 Costs of Review: The cost of initial onsite reviews and audits will be shared equally between ASEP and the academic program under review. The cost of a follow-up visit due to a failed review will be borne entirely by the academic program.
The following is a summary of the requirements for an exercise physiology program to achieve ASEP accreditation. The attainment of these requirements should be evident from the information in the self-study that is presented to the accreditation committee.
The ASEP Philosophical With respect to the ASEP Accreditation Guidelines, the "Accredited" status designates, in the professional judgment of the Board of Accreditation, that the department's present academic degree title, other than exercise physiology, if and when it is accredited, will be viewed as consistent, substantively and procedurally, with the recognized scope of accreditation practice, and its published policies and prcedures. However, with respect to Exercise Physiology as an emerging profession of healthcare practitioners, there are funamental principles pertaining to appropriateness of title, specificity in course work, and other perspectives that address the professional nature of the field. That is, in most other fields of work, including their accrediting bodies in the professions, the structure upon which the emerging profession is based has been clearly defined. This is not the case with Exercise Physiology. To achieve consistency among accredited programs and practitioners of the professions, and the publics served by accreditation, it is appropriate to require the following "Recommendation" as part of the Accredited status. The Board recommends that the academic degree should be changed from "Exercise Science or an academic degree of some other title" to "Exercise Physiology" to embrace the ASEP perspective. By perspective, the Board means: "All accredited academic programs should align their academic degree and/or department vision and purpose in accordance with an acknowledged academic degree in Exercise Physiology whereby the students are expected to sit for the Board Certification at their institution upon graduation. Hence, the accredited programs fuels the professional credential (the EPC) for exercise physiologists while also setting the stage for increased professionalism and the professionalization of exercise physiology. The Board recommends that the department and thus the institution become a professional site for annual offering of the ASEP Board of Certification for Exercise Physiologists (i.e., the Exercise Physiologist Certified exam, othereise known as the EPC credential)."For the purposes of understanding the ASEP accreditation process, the Board views the “Accredited” status according to the following five steps: 1. Any program with relatively minor problems but, in general, meets the Accreditation Guidelines can maintain the “Accredited” status as long as the individual(s) responsible for the program take seriously the recommendations made by the Board for changes in faculty, equipment, or course work which may include the title of the academic major and/or department. By “taking seriously” it is meant that the individuals responsible for the program demonstrate significant steps towards accommodating the recommendations by the Board during the first 5 years of the 10-year Accredited status.
