This exercise specialist provides both immediate and long- term guidance for the physical rehabilitation of individuals who have one or more cardiac or pulmonary-related conditions or diseases, such as heart attack, heart surgery, or emphysema. A major component of this physical rehabilitation is to administer and supervise exercise testing and training sessions. Hospitals hire exercise specialists and require at least an undergraduate degree. However, opportunities for employment improve with an advanced degree and some type of recognized certification, such as that by the American College of Sports Medicine.
