Can I work in the field of exercise physiology with a degree in kinesiology?
POSSIBLE ANSWER: Kinesiology and exercise physiology are closely related fields. At some colleges and universities, the terms are interchangeable. Some areas of exercise physiology are research fields that require a larger number of science and statistics oriented courses. Other areas are practice-oriented. They include lab or practicum courses. The American Society of Exercise Physiologists provides a certification exam for those whose academic degree is not specifically in Exercise Physiology so you can work in the field of exercise physiology with a degree in kinesiology, with the proper exams.
