If you visit American College of Sports Medicine website (www.acsm.org),
you can find
information on a certificate for Exercise Specialist. It is not just
for physios but also
for nurses and exercise physiologists who are interested in cardiac
rehabilitation. I had
a cardiologist in our class too. The test consists of written and
practical portion.
Exercise stress test, ECG monitoring, diabetic education, emergency
procedures, sport
related injury evaluation, and exercise leadership skills are the major
components of
practical portion. Written portion includes exercise physiology, stress
test result
interpretation, exercise prescription, and ECG identifications.
