A new visionary study to help academics recognize exercise physiology as a legitimate healthcare profession. This work explores the concept that the quality of the scientific training necessary to achieve the prescribed exercise medicine, that promotes healthier lifestyles, is as relevant to society as is nursing or physical therapy. It offers a break from past ways of thinking about exercise physiology and introduces ways to implement the steps
necessary to standardize it’s professionalization in order to help it become a nationally recognized healthcare profession.

Reviews
“This book is an effort to bring the students of exercise physiology to the forefront of healthcare and exercise medicine…Dr. Boone points out more than once that it is imperative to know where you are headed if you want to be successful. This is a timely topic… The challenge is to learn from the successful healthcare professionals and to adapt their experiences… By learning from the work practice of others, academic departments can contribute to the 21st century view that it is important to partner with physicians and other established healthcare professionals… Just as it is necessary to engage in healthy, preventive practices to live a longer life and a healthier old age…”
