Journal of Professional Exercise Physiology

The Journal of Professional Exercise Physiology is an archive of writing by ASEP co-founder, Dr. Tommy Boone, and is published on ASEP.org to document the philosophies, techniques and ideas for professionalizing Exercise Physiology. In a continuing effort to advance the practice of exercise medicine throughout academic, clinical and non-clinical environments, future articles pertaining to professionalization and professional practice should be submitted to the Professionalization of Exercise Physiology Online (PEP Online) page.
