CARDIAC REHAB IS EVOLVING — AND IT’S ABOUT TIME.

What if patients didn’t have to choose between
👉 getting care
👉 and living their life?

This study shows:
💻 Hybrid cardiac rehab (clinic + virtual) =
✔ Same attendance
✔ Same fitness gains
✔ Same health improvements

🔥 That’s HUGE for older adults who struggle with access.

💡 If you’re a CEP or student:
This is exactly why staying connected to the research matters.

CEPA membership =
📚 Access to JCEP
🧠 Real clinical evidence
🚀 A way to grow in the field

🫀 Exercise is medicine…
But only if patients can actually access it.

DIABETES CARE IS MISSING A KEY PLAYER — CLINICAL EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGISTS

A new ACSM’s Health & Fitness Journal article highlights a major gap in diabetes care — and a massive opportunity for CEPs.
We already know:
Exercise can ↓ HbA1c, ↑ insulin sensitivity, and ↓ complications.
But in many diabetes programs, exercise is underutilized or not delivered by trained specialists.

That’s where Clinical Exercise Physiologists (ACSM-CEPs) come in.
CEPs are trained to:
• Prescribe safe, individualized exercise
• Manage risk (hypoglycemia, comorbidities)
• Integrate exercise with medications & glucose control

This is not just “activity advice.” This is clinical, evidence-based therapy.
➡️ Expanding CEP roles in DSMES + rehab programs = better outcomes, better care. Exercise is metabolic medicine. CEPs are trained to prescribe it.

This past week was World Kidney Day! 🧡

Did you know that over 37 million American adults have kidney disease? And that about 90% don’t even know they have it?

Exercise is a powerful, yet often overlooked, tool in managing kidney disease.

Clinical Exercise Physiologists play a critical role in helping individuals with CKD move safely, improve strength, boost energy, and support overall health.

CEPs can design exercise programs tailored to:
✅ Improve cardiovascular health
✅ Support blood pressure and blood sugar control
✅ Reduce fatigue
✅ Enhance overall quality of life
✅ Slow the progression of CKD
