Thank you for this video. I was currently going to pursue a degree in Dietetics but with future requirements in that field, I have decided to look into an Exercise science/Kinesiology degree. This video really helped clear up some personal questions & get a better outlook!
Thank you for this great video Nick. I just graduated from The Ohio State University with my bachelor's in exercise science. I graduated in 3 years rather than 4. I was originally on the route to apply to physical therapy school but the more I looked into it the more I disliked it. I am very passionate about promoting a healthy lifestyle, strength and conditioning, nutrition, and instructing. I am thinking about getting my master's, but not sure how beneficial that will be since I don't think I would continue on for my PhD. Do you have any advice for me in terms of job search or continuing my education? Thanks again.
That's a great question. I think a lot of students post undergrad are in the same boat. You finish your degree but then ask yourself what you should do next. Before engaging in any further education ask yourself what would it get you down the road. Are you looking to teach, maybe do research? Then I think it would be a benefit. Before that however, I would suggest doing some internships/volunteering around the field. See if you can get an internship at a clinic or working as a strength and conditioning coach at your school or local sports team. Maybe if teaching is something you like, try being a teaching aid for a professor for a semester and see if this sparks your interest in becoming a professor. Either way, I feel exposing yourself to people in the field that are currently doing the job will allow you to ask the appropriate questions and decide for yourself if its a path you can see yourself going down. At the end of the day you have time, so explore your options! Hope this helps.
Thank you for content like this. I will graduating with a Bachelors of Science in Exercise Science this year. I've completed an internship in the field of Strength and Conditioning. But I do not like that field anymore for several reasons. I have always had a clinically inclined mind and therefore, would like to apply my knowledge clinically. I've worked with some heart patients via personal training in the past and I think they are a great population to work with. I would like to become a Cardiac Rehab Specialist. Would my B.S earned this year be enough to achieve a salaried full time Cardiac Rehab Specialist/Physio? Thank You for Your Time
You would still need to obtain your certification as a Clinical Exercise Physiologist before working in a cardiac rehab setting. I've attached a link below which takes you through the certification process if you were to do it through ACSM. Link: www.acsm.org/certification/get-certified/clinical-exercise-physiologist?gclid=Cj0KCQjwpImTBhCmARIsAKr58cxuWY-fgm1izw8yzrVNXb6H-8XAdILJAcXXFmONMNt5ZzawqOAeudgaAtdtEALw_wcB
If I may ask, salary-wise, how well are hospital setting CEP's paid annually and what are their typical entry rates like? I've been told by professionals that I've worked with that it is not great like that of RN for example.
Hi Noel, It really depends on where in the world you are working. I have attached a link to expected salaries for Clinical Exercise Physiologists in Canada. Link:neuvoo.ca/salary/?job=Exercise%20Physiologist
I haven’t started college yet and I don’t understand most things. So in order to get into, athletic training, anything that’s Has to do with exercise science, I have to take Kinesiology? Or the major “exercise science”. ? Ice or understand. I have more question but I’ll wait for you to respond
Normally to get into athletic training you do require a 4 year degree. A BSc in Kinesiology or Exercise Science will have the core courses to prepare you for athletic training and get you into the required school.
@@nextgenrehab Thanks for taking your time to respond. I may qualify for Financial aid. If i do, going in a little debt for a good exercise science career is worthy?
@@BlueSky-yf1st I would draw out a plan looking ahead 4-5 years. Ask yourself some questions like how likely are you to get a job once you graduate (are there many opportunities in your area)? What is the salary of the job like in your region? How many years would it take you to pay back the debt? Thinking about questions like these should help you make a better decision.
I would recommend speaking with the professor of that class or a career advisor at your school for potential careers if your interested in biomechanics.
Hey im looking to do clinical exercise physiology as a post-graduate. I'm currently trying to find volunteer or part-time work that is related to the field of study, I'm thinking of working as a physio assistant would it be a good way to get some work experience.
It depends on the clientele you would like to work with. If you want to work with patients who have chronic disease ie: heart disease, COPD, metabolic disease, then I would recommend volunteering in a setting such as cardiac rehab or pulmonary rehab. To be certified as a clinical exercise physiologist, and to be eligible to write the exam, you will need experience in this setting. However, if you plan on doing rehab work with patients who have had injuries, or work in a lab with these types of patients, then a physio assistant would be a good option. Either way volunteering in any setting will get you exposure to seeing the kind of work you like and don't like. I have attached a link to the ACSM clinical exercise physiologist requirements below if that is the path you are choosing to go down. www.acsm.org/docs/default-source/certification-documents/cep/acsm-cep2-0-requirements-(final).pdf?sfvrsn=5e8bc382_2
Thanks! I did my bachelor's in PE and sports now I am planning to do master in sports and exercise science (physiology) from Manchester could you please give me a couple of advise before jump into this profession as I don't have any relevant experience I just covered the surface of physiology in my bachelors
I would suggest to try and volunteer in a setting that exposes you to the exercise physiology and sports science field. That could be working in a lab doing exercise testing with athletes, working in a clinical setting with patients who have chronic disease or even considering getting involved with research. This will allow you to see if you like the field and what areas interest you.
Ajay, Greeting from India... I'm 20 Applying for my under grad... How can i contact you, as i have some very important question to ask. ... It would be of great help if you'll spare some time to answer few of them..! Are you on Instagram!? If ..then Your I'd plz...
You have different options when it comes to job roles in exercise physiology. You can chose to work as a clinical exercise physiologist where you provide exercise prescription to patients who have chronic disease ie: heart disease, COPD, diabetes etc. You work as an allied health professional along side doctors, nurses, dietitian's in a multidisciplinary approach to patient care. You are required to understand and interpret certain medical tests like a stress tests, understand how certain medications interact with exercise and provide appropriate exercise prescription to patients after specific procedures ie: bypass surgery. You can also work with sports teams, military, law enforcement and conduct exercising testing for these groups to optimize performance. This may include VO2max tests, stress tests, determining lactate thresholds etc. Another option is working in a lab setting conducting research on various areas of exercise physiology. I've attached a few links below with more information. www.acsm.org/certification/get-certified/clinical-exercise-physiologist www.acsm.org/certification/get-certified/exercise-physiologist
I've made a video on my channel on a day in the life of a clinical exercise physiologist. I've attached that link below. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gqlwgz9saNM.html As for salaries for the job, it depends on where you live. Most entry level salaries can range from $45000-$50000.
Sir i just cleared my 12th and i want to come in this fitness line, i am passionated towards it but the prob is i want to pursue a degree related fitness and nutrition,i have reserched a quite in google and yt but everyone is focusing on certification, so can u please suggest me some bachelor's degree of 3 or 4 years a kind by the way love from india.
Depending on the school you go to, there can be different names to a degree in the fitness field. Your bachelors degree will be a bachelor of science in a specific field. Try looking up a degree in kinesiology, human kinetics or biomedical physiology.
@@nextgenrehab even I wanna pursue my degree in sports science and nutrition is it worth it will there be a proper career...😶 I am really confused help me dude
The exercise science and sport science degree are essentially the same. Depending on the college or university you go to, there may be different elective or upper level classes they offer (ie: an ECG class, exercise testing class etc). But the core classes ie: physiology, biomechanics, anatomy are the same. With an exercise science/sports science degree, you can have different concentrations. For example, you can have an active health and rehab concentration where the degree focuses more on rehab and injury prevention classes. You can have a biomedical physiology concentration that focuses more on biology, anatomy and physiology classes which better prepares you for medical school and potential research opportunities I would recommend looking into the school's you are interested in and see what classes are offered and if there are certain concentrations you can do.
Im not familiar with the colleges in the UK that have exercise science programs. I would suggest googling exercise science programs in the UK and see which school/program fits your needs.
