This is awesome, I’m an Exercise Physiologist in Australia - and I’ve always wanted to dabber in PT/Physio But I honestly just wanted to help people for long term and ended up owning a clinic. It wasn’t instant but THIS video would’ve helped me all those years ago!
Yesss I’m in the same boat but we are switched haha that’s exactly why I made this video so kids like me and you could have made a better educated decision
@@hasithacoolyoutub100 From my experience it depends on your university. 3 years = Exercise sports Scientist but 4 years = Accredited Exercise Physiologist. How. many years is your bachelors?
@@sean.momentum Thanks for replying. My bachelor's is 3 years. Once finished my studies, my goal is to engage with the clinical or sports science industry. To be honest I am not interested in coaching, leading, or teaching. I want to start my career as an exercise physiologist, research assistant, or biomechanist
@@hasithacoolyoutub100 in my experience, that more lab work is based in working inside research facilities and in my town anyway, at a uni. Worth networking and talking to lecturers!
Something good to note would be the acceptance of exercise physiologists in hospitals etc ..they are semi-required but often looked down upon in practice for various rehab/clinical settings.. this is just one of the many reasons that lead to a much lower salary even though per patient in CR can actually draw the facility a significant income.
@@drjustinleedpt I just graduated last Friday and am starting my MOT program in August. I am super excited and have loved everything I’ve seen in shadowing and learned about it so far. My younger sister is thinking about PT I’ll send her some of your videos. If you have the time it would be really good to see one about the day in a life of a practicing PT.
@@drjustinleedpt Yes! I just graduated - Kinesiology - Exercise Science, I wasn't sure where to start since I, myself have a lot to work with. (I have some weight loss goals after college stress lol, I now don't feel comfortable with my body so I wouldn't feel as ready to become an EP yet haha)
Sir, notice me. Question: It is one of the specialization of exercise physiology that determine the individual's sustainability for an exercise program.
I just got into UTD as a healthcare major with a focus in kinesiology, do you think that program would put me on the right track to go become an exercise physiologist?
It definitely can!!! I would suggest you look up local jobs around you and see what are the “requirements” If it asks for an additional certification then you can start working on that! Congrats on your acceptance!
Good afternoon, I'm interested in aqua therapy, vo2 max tests, testing athletes, and working with populations such as with those with parkinson's disease. It looks like I should apply for my master's in exercise physiology and start looking for career opportunities near me. (I have a bachelor's in Bio) It seems too good to be true- can you really do all of these things as an Exercise Physiologist?
Still figuring out what I wanna do as Im going.Im getting an Associate's in Physical Therapy Assistant,and a P.E for my bachelor's,would this prepare me for the CEP or even just a certified EP.My end goal is to get my master's in athletic training, Exercise science for CEP or a doctorate in PT.

Physiotherapy is a little different than exercise physiologist. You might still be able to get a job with that major though. You might have to take additional certifications
Brother, can you suggest what more certification to pursue after Bach degree in sports and exercise science to become more marketable and Inc salary (option) to become clinical exercise physiologist except masters degree anything related experience or any certification ( in addition with all certification that will act as a cherry on the top). Please reply
Hello brother, Ive just completed my 4 years bachelor degree in nutrition. Can I persue my master in physical therapist by choosing kinesiology? I am in huge delima brother
Do I need a masters degree to become an exercise physiologist? I’m almost at my 4th year in Kinesiology and I’m not looking to go into graduate school. I’m considering even going into a Physical Therapist Assistant program.
No, the minimum is a 4 year degree in an exercise science field. Clinical exercise physiologists are more than likely going to need a masters degree in the future (think 2029 potentially). But you can become an exercise physiologist and a clinical exercise physiologist with a bachelors. I am currently an ACSM (EP-C) and am studying for my ACSM (CEP). I've been working in a cardiac Cath lab for the last 6 months and have learned soooooo much. I'm also thinking about going back to school to obtain an associates in cardiac sonography (RDCS). Super cool field as well!
@@snake8078 No problem. I would highly recommend that you read the ACSM “Clinical Exercise Physiology” from wolters klumer. The information in that book is not only the bread and butter of the CEP field, but it is insane how much information is in there. You will know how to take care of yourself after reading that. Trust me.
You definitely can do that! I think if you wanted to start your own business just getting a personal training cert is enough to get started and then do continuing education for exercise science
Which degree do you think is more qualified or relevant to be an exercise physiologist? I have heard that sport science degree is not really valuable to find jobs
If you want to be an exercise physiologist, getting a degree in exercise physiology would be the best. I don’t think It would be worth it to get a doctorate in physical therapy just to be qualified to be an exercise physiologist.
I just made a video on jobs you can get with a kinesiology degree. You should check it out I think you would find it beneficial th-cam.com/video/S1hlB5X2oJY/w-d-xo.html
As someone who has worked in the industry, yes. There are so many opportunities in strength and conditioning, for athletes or tactical programs. It could also help someone interested in personal training-although that can also be done with just a certification. Aside from programming and clinical work, there are opportunities in health promotion-designing and marketing programs which encourage others to practice healthy habits. One example would be corporate wellness.

140k to become an exercise physiologist is nuts! So much money, even if you graduate without debt, the average salary doesn’t compensate at all.

Very interesting. I did not know this was the culture in hospitals. Why do you think they are often looked down upon?
It’s almost like you’ve been reading my mind 😭
I got you 😉
Why not Both! I am both an exercise physiologist and an Integrative physiotherapist!
Wow this is so informative and to the point, the only thing i would suggest is adding all of the certifications associated with it (ex. ACSM, etc)
Thank you!! I did include it into the video but were you talking about a link in the bio?
@@drjustinleedpt Yeah
Great video, this will help a lot of KINES majors who are super confused about what to do with their degree. I know I was until I chose OT.
Agreed!!!! 🙏 yes this is definitely something I struggled with until I understood the professions more. NICE OT!! How are you liking it?

Thank you for the out lining the path to which direction i should choose.
I'm an exercise physiologist and I have worked in government for recreation, and EP cardiology with pacemakers and defibrillator's.
Wow thank you so much for adding value to this channel! I didn’t know that you could do those jobs as a EP!
@@drjustinleedpt I didn't either until I applied to those fields. Great content though!
@@greebp4 thats so awesome! Thank you for sharing this@
great content as always.
Appreciate it !! Thank you 🙏
Sir, notice me.
Question: It is one of the specialization of exercise physiology that determine the individual's sustainability for an exercise program.
You should make a list of the most influential books you have read!
I have a few! What are your top books?
what’s the difference between an exercise physiologist and a clinical exercise physiologist??
Helpful video 😊
can you go into depth of what you have to study in PT school like really really in depth please
I’m preparing to start an education series about kinesiology and how it relates to PT. I think you’ll love it
I just got into UTD as a healthcare major with a focus in kinesiology, do you think that program would put me on the right track to go become an exercise physiologist?
It definitely can!!! I would suggest you look up local jobs around you and see what are the “requirements” If it asks for an additional certification then you can start working on that! Congrats on your acceptance!

It seems too good to be true- can you really do all of these things as an Exercise Physiologist?
This video helps a ton! So, for the ASEP certification, is there no requirement for clinical hours?
I'm actually going for both. Is there an advantage, becoming a CEP and DPT?
Are Exercise Physiologists and Exercise Therapists the same thing?
i have a question...
could a physio therapist be a fitness trainer.sports coach...??
Yes you absolutely can!!!
Still figuring out what I wanna do as Im going.Im getting an Associate's in Physical Therapy Assistant,and a P.E for my bachelor's,would this prepare me for the CEP or even just a certified EP.My end goal is to get my master's in athletic training, Exercise science for CEP or a doctorate in PT.
You got your head on straight. Love that you have goals Shane! Out of the 3 jobs... which one is calling your name the most?
Hope you still reply to newer comment. But can you become an exercise physiologist and physical therapy with an health & wellness degree?
I’m in my last year of pt school 25 yo and I’m in a good 150k of debt 😳
That was me bro! Except I graduated at 27. Better start doing some personal training and charging in the hundreds since you’re a DPT
@@drjustinleedpt do you think it’s worth the debt and the stress?
was it worth it bro? i’m Jr majoring in exercise science i wanna go to grad school but i haven’t been able to decide what for yet
@@lucidphts709 I think it was man I’m going to live at home for 2 years and knock it out as much as I can. You also have to think it’s a
Good investment making big bucks for the next 40 years
I want to be an exercise physiologist. Is the physiotherapist bachelors of University of Monash the right major ??
Physiotherapy is a little different than exercise physiologist. You might still be able to get a job with that major though. You might have to take additional certifications
Good luck with paying off the debt if you didn't serve in the military to get a GI Bill.
Brother, can you suggest what more certification to pursue after Bach degree in sports and exercise science to become more marketable and Inc salary (option) to become clinical exercise physiologist except masters degree anything related experience or any certification ( in addition with all certification that will act as a cherry on the top). Please reply
Can I do both as a career?
Hello brother, Ive just completed my 4 years bachelor degree in nutrition. Can I persue my master in physical therapist by choosing kinesiology? I am in huge delima brother
is it possible for a DPT graduate to also study exercise science/physiology after?
Yes it is definitely possible to do that. Likely the level of study would have to be either Masters, Doctorate, or PhD
Do I need a masters degree to become an exercise physiologist? I’m almost at my 4th year in Kinesiology and I’m not looking to go into graduate school. I’m considering even going into a Physical Therapist Assistant program.

Can someone do masters in exercise science after bachelor food technology or sports nutrition is it worth doing it
You definitely can do that! I think if you wanted to start your own business just getting a personal training cert is enough to get started and then do continuing education for exercise science
@@drjustinleedpt dr. Doing a degree in exercise science is worthful or just by doing certification it’s enough to make a career in fitness

@@drjustinleedpt how do you become a EP?
@@rommeladvincula5782 you have to have a bachelors in exercise science at least. Some jobs require a specialization or certification
Do you recommend being a Exercise Physiologist plus PTA? Also is it possible?
Of course that is possible! I think that would be an awesome combination!
@@drjustinleedpt I have another question. What are some of the career opportunities with combining these two?
@@bigp5065 I would say.... rehab specialist, anything in wellness, fitness coach in any gym or wellness center, personal trainer

Please can you be my mentor? Thanks for the video
Absolutely! Email me drjustinleedpt@gmail.com

Hi Dr. Justin,I just sent an email to you few minutes ago.
