If you see exercise as an important element in health and want to motivate people to practice healthy behaviors, the American College of Sports Medicine sets the gold standard for exercise physiologists. Exercise physiologists analyze their patients' fitness in order to help them improve their health or maintain good health. They help patients with heart disease and other chronic conditions, like diabetes or pulmonary (lung) disease, to regain their health.1 With a certification from ACSM, employers know that you have the best possible credential in the field of exercise physiology and personal training.
The certification requires extensive knowledge in exercise testing and safe, effective program design. The ACSM EP-C seeks to help clients incorporate exercise into daily activity for a healthier lifestyle and improved quality of life. Exercise physiologists can have positions in a few different settings: inpatient and outpatient hospital, and home health and personal training facilities (patients should be cleared by a physician for supervised exercise sessions in all settings).
What sets exercise physiologists apart from other fitness professionals is the knowledge of chronic conditions, exercise testing, and targeted exercise rehabilitation to manage disease. ACSM and the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR) are two organizations that help link physicians to accredited exercise physiology professionals for the long term benefit of clients.

Good blog! I'm a personal trainer, and I definitely need to upgrade my cert. ACSM is what I plan on getting because of the many other certs and opportunities within the organization.
ReplyDeleteI was able to overcome senile dementia via a complete naturopathic process.
ReplyDeleteAbout two years ago, when I was 56, I started feeling foggy and had occasional memory lapses. My wife, Mary, started to notice it, too, but I also have hearing issues so she thought that was the problem. My memory worsened very gradually over the years, and we lived with it, compensating as needed. I became less social. After some months thereafter, it got to the point where we couldn’t keep making excuses or ignoring it. I had gone from doing our grocery shopping without a list to going with a list, to having the list but not buying what was on it.
Mary went online to do some research, and it was during this process we had been fortunate enough to come across Dr. Utu Herbal Cure: an African herbalist and witch doctor whose professional works had majored on the eradication of certain viral conditions, especially dementia, ( improving the memory capacity positively), via a traditional, naturopathic process and distinguished diet plan. It was by the administration of this herbal specialist that I had been able to improve my condition for better. So to say, the encounter with the above-mentioned herbal practitioner was the first time we ever heard there was something that possibly can be done to improve my memory functionality.
By the existence of such an encounter, I was able to learn of the new approach by which this herbalist successfully treated dementia conditions, which included a distinguished herbal therapy and lifestyle changes of which I had undergone to a tremendous, positive effect.
It was after the completion of the herbal therapy I had started to experience a great deal of cognitive improvement when it came to rational decision making.
In brief, I was able to go through the dreadful hollows of senile dementia without any further hazardous damage to my health condition, and within a short period. Had it not been for the support of my wife, of whom had encouraged me to undergo the above-mentioned therapy and that of the herbal practitioner of whom now happens to be benefactor - I would have been long exposed to the further perils of this condition and of which had been apt to result to a calamitous end.
I would also wish for the same positiveness upon patients who may happen to be suffering from this debilitating disease, and would warmly beseech them to find a confidant like this herbal specialist with whose professional service I was able to attain a divine recovery.
