Planning for a Future CEP Workforce in Türkiye

Nathan, ICSESP Director and Project Lead of the International CEP Professional Standards, recently visited Istanbul for the second year running to present at the 6th International Congress of Athletic Performance & Health in Sports (ICAPHS) May 8-11, 2025. He presented on the work completed by the ICSESP on developing International Clinical Exercise Physiology Professional Standards (link) and how this set of standards could pave the way for a CEP workforce in Türkiye.

‘Türkiye is such an exciting and vibrant country. It’s exercise professionals have so much passion for how exercise can change lives through sports participation and they are now so ready to embrace the clinical application of exercise. I have been able to present a pathway to developing a CEP workforce through the three pillars of education, regulation and a professional body’ Nathan explained. ‘The ICSESP looks forward to working closely with our friends and colleagues in Istanbul to realise their goal of a CEP workforce.’
