Document Summary
The debate over licensure for the clinical exercise physiologist. Point: licensure for clinical exercise physiologists- an argument in favor of this proposal. Counterpoint: licensure for clinical exercise physiologists- a desirable goal with an elusive outcome. The strongest argument is making sure that the less than qualified practitioners do not cause injury to clients. This is very compelling because there is a huge risk with performing exercise. The cep"s without licensure could give an inappropriate exercise intensity. Why do you think this point is the most compelling? (2 points) The strongest argument against licensure claims that it is not needed because of the vast number of existing certifications in the exercise science profession. This is compelling because the completion of one of the existing certifications is proof that the individual has met a minimum standard of knowledge.
