Program Overview Join your peers in Edmonton on October 17th for a full-day professional development experience designed to strengthen your evidence-based skills as an exercise professional.

CSEP Clinical Exercise Physiologist(R) (CSEP-CEP) members, CSEP Certified Personal Trainer(R) (CSEP-CPT) members, and fitness professionals are increasingly asked to operate across high-performance, clinical, and organizational environments. Whether supporting athletes returning from injury, working with diverse client populations, applying advanced testing in real-world settings, or leading teams and programs, practitioners must translate evidence into action while navigating evolving professional demands.
This CSEP Professional Development Day is designed to strengthen applied decision-making, professional judgment, and leadership capacity across the full scope of exercise physiology practice. The program brings together experts from high-performance sport, clinical exercise physiology, applied testing environments, and fitness leadership to explore how evidence-based principles are implemented where they matter most.
Learning Focus Participants will explore how exercise science is applied across diverse populations and professional settings, with a focus on:
Translating data and research into practical programming and decisions;
Designing and delivering exercise interventions for clinical populations and persons experiencing disabilities;
Applying advanced testing and training strategies in real-world environments; and
Developing leadership skills to facilitate inclusion in fitness.
Session Highlights These presentations bring together applied perspectives from performance sport, clinical exercise physiology, and fitness leadership.
