President's
Message
As the newly appointed President
for The American Society of Exercise Physiologists, I would like to
first thank the Board of Directors for selecting me to serve during the
2008-2009 year. For those of you members that do not know me, I
am the Chair and Associate Professor in the Kinesiology Department at Midwestern State
University in Wichita Falls, TX.
We are a small college located in the North-Central area of Texas two hours
West of Dallas, TX and two hours South of Oklahoma City, OK. I
bring this up to announce that the Annual ASEP Conference will be held here on
April 2nd through the 4th, 2009. This
letter is a call for your attendance and submission of abstracts for
presentation.
When I think about the ASEP organization and possible issues I would
like to address during my tenure as President, I am reminded of a
student's question to me the other day in a class for which I was a
guest lecturer: "Dr. Wyatt, what exactly is an Exercise
Physiologist?" The reminder is that we
still
have a lot of work to do to educate those around us of our field and
the place Exercise Physiologists hold in the
study and application of Kinesiology. As an Exercise Physiologist, I
emphasize to our majors that a sound knowledge of Exercise Physiology
will allow them to successfully work in areas of human movement (i.e.,
weight loss, sport performance, cardiac rehab) as well as pursue
tangential fields (i.e., strength & conditioning, physical therapy,
medical school).
It is that sound knowledge of Exercise
Physiology that I will use as my rallying cry for advancing ASEP to new
levels during this next year. I am calling on all of the current
and future members of ASEP to renew their interest in the physiological
aspects of human movement. I am calling on you to establish a
focused energy, not just in some area of health advancement or sport
performance, but in the cellular and molecular mechanisms associated
with health and sport issues. I am calling on you to push the envelope of
conventional thinking, not just in the legal
aspects of the health care industry, but in why successful preventative
health measures are primarily established through our greater
understanding of physiological mechanisms associated with
exercise. And finally I would call on you to take this renewed
enthusiasm for Exercise Physiology, and infect those around you with
energy toward advancing ASEP and what ASEP has to offer: Program
Accreditation; Certification; Scientific Journal; an avenue for
expression of opinions. To that end, I will pledge that the
Exercise Physiology program at Midwestern State
University will
seek accreditation during the academic year, 2008-2009.
Spread the word: ASEP is on the move
and now is the time for Exercise Physiologists to get on that train
leading to greater exposure and accountability for us in the
field. Generate excitement with your colleagues and among your
students. Submit an abstract and encourage your students to do the same
for the Annual Meeting in April. What a wonderful field to be in,
and what an exciting time to push ASEP forward as THE organization for
Exercise Physiologists. Renew your
membership, renew your commitment and renew your focus on the American
Society of Exercise Physiologists.
Dr. Frank Wyatt,
ASEP President 2008-2009

An
Invitation from the International Committee
|
|
This month "Ask
the EP" is replaced by an important invitation from a member of
the ASEP Board of Directors and Chair of ASEP's International
Committee...
ASEP Goes
Around the World
Coming
together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together
is success. -- Henry Ford
In this era of informatics and globalization, several world
organizations are taking the necessary steps to remain efficient and
contemporary. At the present time, a fast evolving environment sets the
scenario for new and emerging technologies, the spreading of
information, better telecommunications and at the same time
professionalization. The American Society of Exercise Physiologists is
not an exception in this world movement, especially in the
professionalism of exercise physiology. Selected ASEP members are
working towards the development of the Society, its goals, and its
mission in healthcare.
The significance of this point cannot be overlooked. This is especially the
case with the ASEP International Committee. This
committee is responsible for developing collaborative agreements and
establishing memberships with other exercise physiologist from
countries besides the United
States. Some of the important
activities from the International Committee rely on the hands and
voices of active and dedicated members who are involved in research
collaborative agreements, who have constant communications with
International professionals, and who are willing to discuss possible
solutions and strategies for the advancement of the profession.
Members
of the ASEP International Committee have been recently involved in
welcoming exercise physiologists from Europe, Latin-American, and
Australia to join the ASEP efforts in the
pursuit of professionalism. Hence, today, we have a challenge in front
of us, the world is moving at an accelerated pace and ASEP must adapt
to this change in order to prevail as a professional organization. We want to extend an
invitation to current and prospective
members of the American Society of Exercise Physiologists to joint
forces to support the ASEP vision and mission statements as we extend
our efforts around the world.
