    The ASEPNewsletter is devoted to informative articles and news items about exercise physiology. It is a monthly magazine of news, opinions, exercise physiology professionals, and events that shape exercise physiology. While it contains views and opinions of the Editorial Staff who oversee the ASEP Internet Websites, visitors can have a voice as well. We welcome interested practitioners, researchers, and academicians to e-mail the Publisher their thoughts and ideas or to respond directly via the ASEP Public Forum.
    As a visionary organization...... What is it about ASEP that is important to know?

    That, like the parable of the tortoise and the hare, ASEP got a slow start but it will win over the long run.

    That, the primary reason for the existence of ASEP is the well-being of the exercise physiologists. Its core ideology goes beyond making ASEP special but rather to make exercise physiologists special.

    That members of ASEP believe in the Society's ideology. In fact, when ask, "What do we actually value; the bottom line?" The answer is an exercise physiology-driven view of unification and support for exercise physiologists.

    That, although many ideas and plans will drive and change ASEP, its reason for being will never change. Just like an enduring start on the horizon, its core values and sense of purpose is tightly fixed.

    That the Society is composed of members who aren't afraid of taking risks and challenging the untried, and they appreciate the members' strengths, insights, and experiences.

    That ASEP members are driven to elevate the exercise physiology profession to higher standards. They aren't oppose to trying whatever and keeping what works.

    That ASEP members are concerned with improving themselves so that the Society is further empowered to continually ask the question, "What can we do better next year than we did this year?"

    That the Society is expected to grow and the members are expected to benefit from the growth. You can have your cake and eat it too.

    That even though ASEP has its own Charter with a vision, goals, objectives and so forth, the never-ending value of ASEP is its members, their thoughts and commitment, and their night and day wrestling with the legitimate and essential concern before exercise physiologists, "The Professionalization of Exercise Physiology."
