Job Outlook


Employment of exercise physiologists is projected to grow 11 percent from 2014 to 2024, faster than the average for all occupations. Demand may rise as hospitals emphasize exercise and preventive care as part of their treatment and long-term rehabilitation from chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. Job Prospects However, because this is a small occupation in terms of employment, competition for available positions is expected to remain high. Additionally, because licensure for exercise physiologists is not common, there are few recognized standards of practice for these workers.
