American Society of Exercise Physiologists

September 10th, 2009

American Society of Exercise Physiologists was founded in 1997 in Minnesota. The founders of the ASEP organization are Dr. William T. Boone and Dr. Robert A. Robergs. Their vision for ASEP is to be the leading unifying force among exercise physiologists in the application of “exercise as medicine” to fitness, health promotion, and rehabilitation. Of course, the scientific body of exercise physiology applies equally as well to athletics and sports training. At the time it was created and placed on the Internet as a nonprofit professional organization for exercise physiologists, it was unclear to many doctorate-level exercise physiologists why it was needed. However, after decades of membership in numerous non-exercise physiology organizations, academic exercise physiologists are becoming more aware that the students of exercise science and related programs of study are having difficulty in locating credible career opportunities in the public sector.
