Affiliate, international, emeritus, sustaining, honorary, and student members enjoy all the benefits of membership except holding office. All members have the opportunity to influence the direction of ASEP through their participation in the national meeting, and by communication with their regional society representatives. A Certified Professional Member is open only to professional members who have passed the ASEP National Certification Exam. International Membership is for an academically prepared exercise physiologist or an individual who is working professionally in an exercise physiology related profession in a country other than the United States. Emeritus Membership is for an active member in good standing for at least 15 years who retired from regular employment.
Emeritus members retain all privileges of membership except eligibility to hold office.
The Sustaining Membership is aimed at encouraging affiliation by commercial organizations that market products used by the exercise physiology research community, or companies that otherwise engage in activities that fall within the Society's general interests. Each member is entitled to discounted advertising rates in selected ASEP publications and reduced exhibit booth rental fees at the National Meeting. The Fellow Membership is given to members as a Distinguished Award of Fellow for exceptional support of the goals and objectives of the Society. The founding members of the Society shall be its first Fellows.
