Welcome to CSEP

The Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology is a voluntary organization composed of professionals interested and involved in the scientific study of exercise physiology, exercise biochemistry, fitness and health. The CSEP (then known as the Canadian Association of Sport Sciences), was founded at the Pan American Games, Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1967- the result of four years of cooperative efforts by the Canadian Medical Association and the Canadian Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance.

  • Our Mission
    "To promote the generation, synthesis, transfer and application of knowledge and research related to exercise physiology (encompassing physical activity, fitness, health, nutrition, epidemiology, and human performance)."

  • Our Vision
    To be recognized as the Canadian scientific authority on exercise physiology, health and fitness, providing a continuum of service from those who drive the science to those who implement and apply the science.

 
Our Guiding Principles
  • To promote and foster the growth of the highest quality research and education in exercise physiology.

  • To provide a national forum (committees and networks) for Canadians whose interests coincide with exercise physiology

  • To recognize the regional diversity of Canada and offer equal opportunity for persons within CSEP regardless of age, gender, race or disability.

  • To apply the knowledge derived from research in exercise physiology.
