The Minnesota Association of Exercise Physiologists (MNAEP) is proud to be the professional organization dedicated to the advancement of Exercise Physiologists in Minnesota and surrounding states of the upper Midwest. The Minnesota Association of Exercise Physiologists was founded April 1, 2000. It is modeled after our national organization, The American Society of Exercise Physiologists (ASEP) that was founded in 1997. Since then, the ASEP has been developing the things we need to operate as a profession such as our code of ethics, scope of practice, and accreditation of academic programs. The Minnesota Association of Exercise Physiologists acknowledges and supports our professional relationship with the American Society of Exercise Physiologists. After 9 years, the momentum of our emerging profession is reaching a sort of critical mass. More than ever, preventable diseases are in the news and Exercise Physiologists are leading the charge to implement proactive and preventative intervention programs. Along with prevention, Exercise Physiology has applications as a diagnostic tool and treatment protocol for cardiac and pulmonary diseases. Exercise Physiologists are working with bariatric patients before and after procedures to help control bodyweight. Exercise Physiologists are even making progress with our most elderly citizens to combat weakness. With so many different applications, it is important that Exercise Physiologists have an organization that can work on both common ground issues as well as issues that affect individual professionals! |
