Coming March 2012 - the Journal of Clinical Exercise Physiology!
In March, the Clinical Exercise Physiology Association (CEPA) will begin publishing the Journal of Clinical Exercise Physiology. This new journal will be the only current publication aimed solely at CEPs. With the launch of this journal, CEPA takes an important
step forward in fulfilling part of its mission to facilitate the advancement of education for CEPs related to exercise and its application in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases and special medical conditions.
Subscription to the Journal of Clinical Exercise Physiology is a benefit of CEPA membership and included in the cost of your annual dues. All current members will receive an electronic copy of the journal, and CEPA members residing in the United States will
receive a print version as well.
Here is a sampling of the articles that will be published in the first issue:
