This reminds me that we are clearly at the end of one period of an era and the beginning of a new one. But no one can take the development of exercise physiology for granted. It is a phenomenon of the time. What ASEP is trying to accomplish is therefore no different than change itself. Objectives, assumptions, and mind-sets some years ago just isn't the language of the exercise physiologist today.
Values are different.
People are different. Objectives are different. The profession is different, and hence organizations must be different. We can no longer work under the older basic assumptions that we have for years in sports medicine. Our very existence is a function of our durability, but even that is subject to exhaustion if business as usual doesn't change.
