Undergraduate exercise science programs develop curricula by referring to standards set by professional organizations. A web-based survey was administered to 235 institutions with exercise science undergraduate programs to evaluate their adherence to stated curricular guidelines. Results indicate that 29% of institutions considered American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) Knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs); 33% both ACSM and National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) guidelines; 6% ACSM, NASPE, and National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA); 8% ACSM, NASPE, NSCA, and American Society of Exercise Physiologists, and 5% NASPE. The two largest subgroups had good compliance with the areas of exercise physiology, biomechanics, and human anatomy and physiology. However, neither subgroup adhered to the areas of exercise prescription, testing, and implementation; exercise and aging; or exercise with special populations. Regardless of the implemented guideline(s), most institutions placed minimal emphasis on areas related to health promotion and many curricula did not require any field experience.
本科运动科学专业通过参考专业组织制定的标准来开发课程。对235个设有运动科学本科专业的机构进行了一项基于网络的调查，以评估它们对既定课程指南的遵守情况。结果表明，29%的机构参考了美国运动医学学院（ACSM）的知识、技能和能力（KSAs）；33%的机构同时参考了ACSM和国家体育与健康教育协会（NASPE）的指南；6%的机构参考了ACSM、NASPE和国家力量与体能协会（NSCA）的指南；8%的机构参考了ACSM、NASPE、NSCA和美国运动生理学家协会的指南，5%的机构参考了NASPE的指南。两个最大的子群体在运动生理学、生物力学以及人体解剖学和生理学领域的合规性良好。然而，这两个子群体都未遵守运动处方、测试与实施；运动与衰老；或特殊人群运动等领域的指南。无论实施的是哪种指南，大多数机构对与健康促进相关的领域重视程度最低，而且许多课程并不要求有任何实地经验。
