The sad fact of the matter is that most of the history of exercise physiology has been executed without a professional foundation under it. Students aren t equipped with the right information to understand this point. The professors who teach exercise physiology courses do so regardless of the lack of attention to professionalism. The tragic results of the lack of prior planning have surfaced in recent years with increased confusion about career opportunities. Nothing has changed, however.
Exercise physiologists continue to move along doing whatever as though everything is great.
They continue to let others make choices for them. It s much easier to ride a horse in the direction he s going. All of these questions have something to do with decisions and making the right choice. An organization of exercise physiologists for exercise physiologists is important to realizing professionalism. Of course not.
