A media release from Exercise & Sports Science Australia today. Please read and share. We need to raise awareness of the dangers of Personal Trainers working outside their scope of practice! Without being disrespectful to PTs, there are particular people (those with a history of heart disease, injuries or other chronic health conditions) that require the expertise of a qualified Exercise Physiologist in the safe prescription of exercise. There is certainly a time and place for the input of a PT; when someone is looking to lose weight, manage their health and receive advice with lifestyle factors, however as the article suggests, it is important to review the knowledge and experience of a PT first before starting with them. Alternatively, seek advice from an Exercise Physiologist who can provide evidence-based, safe exercise prescription to all populations. essa.org.au/for-media/essa-in-the-media/?cpid=16495
