SOC 29-1128 · O*NET 29-1128.00
Assess, design, or implement fitness programs covering cardiorespiratory function, body composition, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility; explain testing procedures, develop individual exercise programs, monitor and record responses, and may also take on clinical supervision, rehabilitative exercise, and emergency care tasks. Specific medical, licensing, and institutional authority must be verified separately, and the occupation name does not confer individual authorization.
Model impact index for three equally weighted representative core tasks; not a measured share of working time or a job-loss probability. floor((25+50+0)/3+0.5)=25; fermatmind-ai-impact-v1; 2026-10-18.
First judge whether you can verify participant information and test indicators according to process and whether you can keep observing at the training site and escalate according to the rules, then judge whether you accept a way of working centered on assessment, prescription, supervision, and records; use the paper exercise and seven-day task on this page to verify, rather than looking only at the name "exercise physiologist."
This card is a career exploration reference and does not constitute a hiring, competency scoring, or medical and legal conclusion.
Editorial observation: willingness to verify information and indicators, to keep records and review continuously, and to collaborate according to real processes can serve as exploration clues; unwillingness to record and review must be verified further. Whether one can independently take on diagnosis and treatment cannot be judged from personal preferences or the occupation name and requires verification of real qualifications and authorization.
The U.S. O*NET29-1128.00 defines this as assessing, designing, or implementing fitness programs; tasks include clinical supervision, rehabilitative exercise, and emergency care, and also group training. Adjacent directions are compared by main task output, and neither ordinary coaching nor all treatment is uniformly excluded.
The work follows the threads of history-taking for medical history and goals, fitness testing, individual exercise programs, response supervision, and record review; the official materials also list rehabilitative exercise, clinical supervision, emergency care, and some laboratory tasks. The specific executable scope is verified against jurisdiction and institutional authorization.
Career direction comparison
The following occupations all revolve around exercise, health, and function, but their client groups and bases differ; use them to help locate a direction rather than as substitutes for one another.
| Career direction | Core work and output | Key differences | Best-fit choice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Athletic Trainers | Provide injury prevention, first aid, and rehabilitation training support for sports teams or institutions | Mainly sports injury prevention, first aid, and rehabilitation training; this occupation focuses on fitness assessment and exercise prescription | Choose that occupation if you prefer athletic training and sideline first aid; choose this occupation if you prefer testing, assessment, and individualized prescription |
| Exercise Trainers and Group Fitness Instructors | Coach training movements, organize group classes, and follow up on member goals |

Chinese mainland salary reference
Medical rehabilitation, wellness programs, and schools are editorial search directions; no industry role share or representative recruitment sample for this occupation was obtained, so it is not claimed that such roles are usually located in a certain type of institution.
Scope note: industry average wages cover multiple occupations and cannot replace this occupation's wage distribution.
Insufficient evidence: no nationwide monthly or annual single-occupation wage statistic precisely corresponding to this occupation in mainland China was obtained; this page provides only the industry average wage as background (non-private 146,266 yuan/year, private 75,631 yuan/year, 2025), which cannot be converted into a monthly salary for a specific role.
Insufficient evidence: no wage statistic or representative current recruitment quote for this occupation in first-tier cities was obtained; a single quote must be verified for date, duties, hours, and pay basis, and cannot be broadly described as usually including allowances and performance pay.
US salary reference
The U.S. 2025 national five-tier annual wages are 42,760/49,620/59,460/67,230/80,560 dollars and hourly wages are 20.56/23.86/28.59/32.32/38.73 dollars, directly verified this round against the O*NET detail table. For the exact U.S. BLS SOC29-1128: employment 21,200 in 2025 and 23,900 in 2035, a net increase of 2,700, a change of 12.8% (OOH integer 13%), and 1,400 annual openings from 2025 to 2035, including replacement and not net new positions.

| Lowest 10% | 42,760 USD/year (10th percentile, 2025) | Official annual wage, not an individual monthly income | Low end: the 10th percentile is about $42,760/year, at the low end of the distribution, not an entry-level starting wage. |
| Median (50%) | Median hourly wage $28.59; median annual wage $59,460 (2025, BLS OEWS, presented via O*NET) |
Career fit guide
The point is not whether you "like exercise," but whether you can verify information and indicators according to process, keep observing at the training site and escalate according to the rules, and record the basis for assessments and prescriptions clearly. Interest and personality frameworks can only suggest what to observe; they cannot replace verification through real tasks.
You may be better suited to： Willing to repeatedly verify indicators, methods, and timing for one assessment
These situations require caution： Can stop and escalate according to the rules when indicators are abnormal or discomfort occurs, rather than judging on one's own
Do an entry exercise： Editorial observation: whether one accepts the rhythm of assessment, exercise programs, supervision, and records; this occupation can also serve athletic populations, and ability cannot be judged from competitive results or a single paper exercise.
Work pressure, risks, and occupational boundaries
Editorial risk note: the basis for inputs and programs, response records, information permissions, and unverified drafts may affect service; no risk occurrence rate or reduction effect was obtained, so no safety guarantee is given.
O*NET supports the task context and NIST is only a voluntary governance reference; the risk checks are editorial synthesis, and specific medical, licensure, and privacy requirements must be verified separately and are not treated as law or uniform rules.
Typical scenario：Insufficient training intensity or monitoring leading to unrecognized discomfort
Roles most affected：Participants and people present at the training site
Possible consequence：May lead to training risk or biased evaluation
Entry, qualifications, and career development
Insufficient evidence: no representative Chinese education and qualification sample was obtained. The typical US BLS entry is a related bachelor's degree, and both related work experience and on-the-job training are None; O*NET is Job Zone4, and the education survey is 50% bachelor's, 42% master's, 4% postsecondary certificate, which is not a China threshold. OOH states that state licensing requirements differ and employers usually require BLS or ACLS certification (including CPR); check the specific jurisdiction and position separately.
Career outlook and related career transitions
Insufficient evidence: precise wages for this occupation in China were not obtained. US BLS precise SOC29-1128: 21,200 employed in 2025 and 23,900 in 2035, a net increase of 2,700, a change of 12.8% (OOH rounds to 13%), and an annual average of 1,400 openings over 2025—2035, including replacements, not net additions. The US 2025 median is 59,460 USD/year, and China's NBS industry figures of 146,266/75,631 yuan/year are background only.

Assess, design, or implement fitness programs, including physiological testing, individual exercise plans, and clinical supervision; there are also rehabilitation, group training, emergency care, and some testing tasks. Official tasks include exercise prescription, rehabilitation exercise, clinical supervision, emergency medical care, some testing, and recommended diagnostic procedures; do not infer independent diagnosis, medication, or full treatment authority for an individual from the occupation title, and licensing, certification, and actual authorization in the location must be verified. This item is paper record verification only and is not clinical practice.
Choose a real task from this page for a small practice project or a conversation with someone in the field. Use the planning guides to set a date, an output and feedback questions before deciding whether to continue.
This list is only for self-questioning; it does not constitute hiring criteria, a competency score, or a suitability conclusion. Exercise physiologists differ greatly by institution type (hospital rehabilitation, fitness and health management, corporate wellness programs, sports teams, or research institutions) and by client group (healthy people, people with chronic conditions, post-surgical rehabilitation, athletic populations); before comparing roles, first verify the role's actual tasks, whether certification or licensure is required, whether clinical supervision is required, and the employer's requirements for first aid and risk stratification ability.
Use the EP345 original fictional record prompt to check IDs, versions, units, signatures, and the given escalation rules, calculate record discrepancies, and write a list of items awaiting confirmation. Paper work only: do not test real people, prescribe exercise, or perform first aid.

When using AI to assist with work in this occupation, it is recommended to confirm boundaries and responsibility in the following order:
First confirm the task scope, information permissions, and clinical supervision requirements, and judge which steps can use tools.
Editorial suggestion: first verify tool input permissions and output use, and verify validation and permission for drafts and final field execution separately.
Check tool output item by item for indicators, intensity, and the basis, and have the individual or qualified clinical staff review it.
Record the tool name, version, inputs, and human modifications to ensure testing and training records are traceable.
Editorial suggestion: verify the real task reviewer and use permissions; tool output does not create additional authorization.
Generated content may contain incorrect facts or outdated methods
Control: Check back item by item against the original sources and the latest standards; do not use anything with participants before it is verified
Participant health information is sensitive personal information
Control: Editorial reminder: verify the data permissions of the institution and the tool; the EP345 exercise uses fictional inputs only and does not submit real health data.
Testing and training records must be traceable, otherwise they cannot be reviewed
Control: Record the tool name, version, inputs, and modifications, and keep prescription and follow-up versions
Errors in intensity, period, or indicators affect training safety
Control: Independently review key fields and check intensity, duration, and test indicators
Safety-related judgments require clear ownership of responsibility
Control: Clarify the reviewer and authorized scope; unauthorized content must not be used in field execution
Editorial suggestion: first use the EP345 fictional input to check records, signatures, and pending items; real assessment prescription and first aid learning must follow course, supervision, and permission requirements.
Standardize test methods, risk stratification criteria, and record templates, write the basis for interpretation and pending items clearly, and ask senior colleagues or clinical staff to review.
Editorial candidate: with actual permission, trial record and explanatory drafts and check each item back, without treating the candidate as already effectively deployed.
First clarify participant information permissions, clinical supervision requirements, and first aid procedures, then decide in which low-risk steps to use tools, while retaining review and signing responsibility.

Insufficient evidence: no verifiable monthly wage statistic for this occupation in other cities was obtained; differences among cities and institutions are large and must be verified by work location.
Insufficient evidence: this round obtained no exact wage for this occupation in China, no representative recruitment education and qualification sample, and no industry role share; the table below is an editorial exploration of preparation backgrounds, not common role distribution.
| Education background | Task directions to explore | Notes and verification suggestions |
|---|---|---|
| Higher vocational or associate degree (exercise science, rehabilitation, or health-related fields) | Assistant roles in health management centers and fitness and rehabilitation institutions | Mainly assisting with assessment, coaching, and records |
| Bachelor's degree (exercise science, kinesiology, or a related field) | Rehabilitation institutions, corporate wellness programs, and sports team roles | A degree does not confer independent assessment or prescription authority; real conditions are verified posting by posting |
| Bachelor's degree or above (exercise science, sports medicine, or a related field) | Clinical exercise physiology, research, and program lead roles | Research and record tasks can be explored; judgments for complex populations must be verified against real qualifications |
| Cross-disciplinary (exercise science plus medicine/rehabilitation) | Clinical rehabilitation and chronic disease exercise intervention roles | Requires additional clinical collaboration and safety handling training |
The following uses the average wage of the "Health and Social Work" industry as an industry background proxy, which cannot replace this occupation's wage; if you see a recruitment figure, first verify whether it is a fixed monthly salary, includes performance pay, or is project pay.

No. The median and percentiles are 2025 national wage distribution positions, and the 25/75 percentiles of 49,620/67,230 dollars/year have been directly verified in this round against the official detail table; they do not represent a newcomer's grade or an individual contract offer.
It cannot simply be extrapolated. Hourly wages are paid by the hour, and annual income also depends on weeks worked, overtime, and performance pay; the median hourly wage and median annual wage cannot be converted directly into an individual's take-home income.
The five-tier annual and hourly wages come from the O*NET national 2025 detail table (BLS data); the four industry medians come from the OOH for this occupation May 2025. Statistical values are not individual take-home pay, and OEWS excludes the self-employed.
Verify the role's pay basis, hours, region, and responsibilities; the wage table does not explain the income effect of certification. Monthly salary, annual salary, and whether overtime or performance pay is included must be checked item by item, and different bases must not be mixed.
| Industry | Median wage for this occupation within the industry | How to understand this value |
|---|---|---|
| Hospitals (state, local, and private) | $59,820/year (May 2025) | The OOH median for this exact occupation in the hospital industry, not the average for all hospital occupations |
| Offices of physicians | $57,010/year (May 2025) | The OOH median for this exact occupation in the offices of physicians industry |
| Other ambulatory health care services | $53,940/year (May 2025) | The OOH median for this exact occupation in the other ambulatory health care services industry |
| Offices of physical, occupational and speech therapists, and audiologists | $45,180/year (May 2025) | The OOH median for this exact occupation in that offices industry |
The median and the percentiles are positions in the wage distribution of workers within the same statistical period, not starting salaries; individual income depends on institution type, region, certification, and scope of responsibility.

O*NET occupational interest baseline
RIS (Realistic-Investigative-Social)Realistic R is equipment and field tasks, Investigative I is data and physiological analysis, and Social S is education and assistance; the RIS order matches the official type and is not an ability ranking.
The occupational interest information on this page comes from O*NET's interest code RIS for Exercise Physiologists (29-1128.00); it describes work activity preferences, not individual assessment results, and cannot be used to infer suitability or hiring likelihood.
Which Holland interest type is closer to exercise physiologists?
The official interest code RIS (Realistic-Investigative-Social): R corresponds to equipment and field exercise tasks, I to test data and physiological analysis, and S to education, communication, and assistance; it describes activity preferences and does not prove ability or hiring.
Do not use it this way: Treating competitive results as the only work goal may lead to neglecting records and clinical tasks; this occupation can also serve athletic populations, and the observation is only an editorial note that does not exclude sports motivation.
Take my Holland career interest testWhich Big Five traits are more relevant to this work?
Insufficient evidence: this round obtained no Big Five personality–performance validation data for this occupation, so no hiring score is given. Editorial observation can use EP345 to check records, versions, and pending status.
Do not use it this way: Treating personality test results as an occupational conclusion, or ruling yourself out on that basis.
See my Big Five personality traitsCan MBTI be used to judge whether I am suited to be an exercise physiologist?
This round obtained no validation data on MBTI predicting performance in this occupation; it only discusses collaboration preferences, and type is not used to exclude individuals, while EP345 observation is limited to checking fictional materials.
Do not use it this way: Using a type label to explain why you are not suited to assessment or supervision work.
Learn my MBTI preferencesCan the Enneagram tell whether I am suited to this occupation?
The Enneagram is a self-reflection tool. More practical questions for this job are: can you stop and escalate according to the rules when a participant feels unwell or an indicator is abnormal; these questions can be tested directly through internship experience.
Do not use it this way: Treating a type description as proof of occupational fit.
Explore my Enneagram patternCan I be an exercise physiologist if I am not good at math?
This job requires some mathematical and physiological foundation: O*NET classifies this occupation as Job Zone Four (considerable preparation), and the actual work requires understanding cardiorespiratory, body composition, and strength indicators and turning data into accurate, traceable records. This does not mean you must be a math standout; it means interpreting indicators accurately and using reviewable methods.
Do not use it this way: Treating a single test result as the ceiling of your ability.
Learn about my intelligence and reasoning performanceDo exercise physiologists need high emotional intelligence?
Insufficient evidence: this round obtained no emotional intelligence scale–performance validation data for this occupation. Communication can be observed through concrete records and confirmation processes, without setting a score threshold.
Do not use it this way: Substituting high or low emotional intelligence for verifying accuracy and safety handling.

More precisely, what is needed is communication and safety awareness: staying clear and patient with participants, families, and the clinical team, handling discomfort quickly according to procedure, and proactively confirming when information is insufficient. These abilities can be observed and trained through concrete exercises; they are not personality thresholds.
Being introverted cannot alone determine suitability. In the U.S., 100% of O*NET respondents have daily face-to-face contact and 76% are in continuous contact with others; verify the target role's collaboration conditions and use EP345 to practice confirmation drafts, noting that paper communication does not represent all field abilities.
Insufficient evidence: no basis for representative Chinese education or general qualification was obtained. The typical U.S. BLS entry is a related bachelor's degree, with both the related work experience and on-the-job training items listed as None; O*NET lists Job Zone4, and the education survey shows 50% bachelor's, 42% master's, and 4% postsecondary certificate, which are not Chinese thresholds. OOH states that state licensure requirements differ and employers usually require BLS or ACLS certification (including CPR); specific jurisdictions and roles must be verified separately.
Those lacking experience can first do the EP345 fictional record check, but a single paper exercise must not be treated as clinical testing and prescription ability; real courses and practice are verified against supervision, permission, and role conditions.
Editorial comparison: an exercise science background should verify clinical collaboration, while a medical rehabilitation background should verify exercise testing and record tasks; specific gaps are compared against the target role, and it is not claimed that both routes are viable or that transfer is guaranteed.
Insufficient evidence: this round obtained no data on the hiring advantage of internships versus coursework for this occupation. OOH states that internships can provide practical observation, and real material use must follow permissions; all occupational abilities are not inferred from it.
In the U.S., O*NET76% reported working 40 hours per week and 20% more than 40 hours, with 100% having daily face-to-face contact and 96% working daily in a controlled indoor environment; 50% stand more than half the time and 38% about half the time. These are different items and do not infer Chinese night shifts or remote arrangements.
First do the EP345 paper record check and rule comparison, observe whether the person is willing to review repeatedly, then verify real education, licensure, and supervision conditions; you cannot prescribe for real people to test occupational preferences.

| Entry directions | Starting tasks | Evidence you can prepare | Work you can show without experience | Differences to note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exercise physiology role in a rehabilitation institution | Complete assessment, coaching, and records under supervision | Internship records and assessment samples | Use EP345 to check input differences and the pending list, without making a clinical prescription | Rehabilitation-setting oriented; must focus on risk stratification and safety |
| Health management center role | Complete fitness testing, prescriptions, and follow-up | Fitness testing and follow-up records | Use EP345 to write a summary of the given status; real follow-up is verified against the process separately | Healthy-population oriented; must focus on adherence and communication |
| Corporate wellness program role | Organize screening, lectures, and individual guidance | Program records and screening data | Real team screening materials are verified separately; role exploration only | Population-program oriented; must focus on organization and communication |
| Sports team fitness/research role | Conduct fitness testing and training monitoring | Test data and training records | Real fitness test plans must verify course permissions; this exercise involves no hands-on work | Athletic-population oriented; must focus on data and training load |
| Clinical exercise rehabilitation role | Carry out exercise intervention and monitoring within the clinical team | Clinical collaboration records and plans | Use the EP345 handed-over/pending-feedback record to explain paper escalation | Clinical-setting oriented; must focus on authorization and collaboration |
Verify education or professional training requirements and on-the-job training arrangements, and record the posting date and whether it is still open.
Distinguish 'can lead training' from 'can independently assess and prescribe', and do not substitute a degree for actual assessment and safety capability.
Check whether first aid (CPR/AED), certification, or a background check is required, and whether qualified supervisory personnel must be present on site.
Record the requirements and their validity period; crossing institutions or regions requires re-verification.
Job Zone Four (considerable preparation needed); the education distribution is about 50% bachelor's, about 42% master's, and about 4% postsecondary certificate.
The preparation level describes the occupation as a whole and does not represent the conditions of a specific position.
Check proficiency requirements for exercise testing equipment, monitoring tools, and records systems, and whether specialized operating experience such as electrocardiography is required.
State the actual use scenarios; do not substitute an equipment list for assessment and safety capability.
All people, values, and procedures are fictional; no real health information is collected, and no equipment is operated or training performed. Participant P345 has the goal of improving general fitness; the medical history field is pending clinical confirmation, the medication field is blank, and no medication cannot be inferred from a blank field.
Original test form V2, Monday 09:00, ID P345: resting heart rate 72 beats/min; blood pressure 120/78mmHg; recorded item A as 8 minutes and B as 6 minutes. The equipment calibration field is pending confirmation. The values here are only for data-entry verification and are not risk thresholds or training recommendations.
Transcription sheet V1 marked ID P354, resting heart rate 720 beats/min, blood pressure 120/78 with no unit written, total item duration 16 minutes. The sign-off field is empty.
Given plan draft D1: pending sign-off by a qualified professional; the training items and their intensity, frequency, and progression are all pending confirmation. Interview proposed for Tuesday at 10:00; the clinical reviewer is available at 10:30, so 10:00 must not be marked as confirmed.
Additional response record for this item: Wednesday 11:05 recorded 'the participant reported discomfort, referred to clinical staff'; 11:10 recorded 'clinical feedback pending'. Paper simulation only; no symptom diagnosis, treatment, or training outcome is invented.
Deliverables: an input version comparison, an error correction table, a pending-confirmation and escalation list, and a one-page status summary; state the scope of the fiction clearly.
Use original form V2 to check transcription V1, keeping the original values and the reason for each correction; differences in ID, values, and units must be flagged. The total item duration is only the given sum of 8+6 minutes; do not extrapolate real training dosage.
Plan D1 is unsigned and has missing items in medication, medical history, and calibration; do not approve execution or fill in risk stratification on your own; list them as pending professional confirmation. For the given interview conflict, propose 10:30 pending confirmation from both parties.
Rule for this item: once the response record says 'discomfort', the status stays referred and pending feedback and must not be changed to cleared for training; only records and escalation are practiced, and no actual medical procedure is specified.
No real tests are run, and no diagnosis, medication, or actual exercise intensity is provided. All four works and the seven days use only the materials in this item; independent verification against the reference deliverable is allowed.
V1's P354 changed to P345, and 720 changed to 72 beats/min; blood pressure is given the original form's unit mmHg; total duration 8+6=14 minutes, and the original 16 is 2 minutes too many. Keep the V1 original record, save a separate correction table V2 for comparison, and do not alter the original test input.
Pending confirmation: medical history, medication, equipment calibration, and D1 sign-off; do not fill in D1 item intensity, frequency, or progression, and do not write approved or completed. The interview is proposed for 10:30 pending confirmation from the participant and the reviewer.
Status summary: Wednesday 11:05 'discomfort, referred to clinical staff', 11:10 'clinical feedback pending'; there is no record of resumed training, diagnosis, or a new prescription, and no self-management is inferred.
Sample confirmation draft: 'P345 and reviewer: propose moving the Tuesday interview to 10:30, since the original 10:00 cannot be attended together; please confirm separately; until a reply is received it stays pending confirmation. Medical history, medication, calibration, and D1 sign-off are still pending professional verification, and no test or training is started on that basis.' Do not actually send it.
The given paper rules only serve the verification of EP345 original materials; they are not a clinical risk-stratification standard, an emergency care protocol, a medical license, or a competence certification. Real tasks must be handled by appropriately qualified and authorized personnel under actual procedures.
List the time versions, given constraints, and pending items of the V2 original, the V1 transcription, the D1 draft, and the two response records.
If a real job posting is added, its date and status must be recorded; this item must not be treated as a recruitment sample.
Show the original value, correction, and basis for P354 to P345, 720 to 72 beats/min, the blood pressure unit, and 8+6=14 versus 16 being 2 over.
Keep the original records, do not fill in real prescription parameters, and do not treat completing the information as a medical conclusion.
Write the summary according to Wednesday 11:05 referred to clinical and 11:10 feedback pending; medical history, medication, calibration, D1 sign-off, and interview confirmation are still pending verification.
Do not invent a diagnosis, resumed training, or a completed prescription.
Record the EP345 input, calculations, corrected versions, and human verification; note it if AI was actually used, and state honestly if it was not.
Tools cannot change pending to confirmed, and the works do not prove clinical practice capability.
| Scenario | Questions that may be asked | Evidence that can be presented | Conclusions that cannot be inferred |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interview | Whether the candidate can explain risk stratification and safe handling approaches. | Check whether the procedures, interpretation basis, and records are clearly written. | Hiring decisions are made by the employer and the position, not by the candidate. |
| Written test or scenario exercise | Whether an assessment and a draft prescription can be completed within a limited time. | Use deliverables to show organization and safety boundaries. | Exercise results do not represent long-term performance or full competence. |
| Probation period | Whether assessments, supervision, and records can be completed according to institutional policy. | Use test and follow-up records to show compliance. | Probation performance does not equal certification or authorization. |
| After onboarding | Whether health information and abnormalities can be handled within the authorized scope. | Use permissions and records to show compliance and traceability. | Following procedures does not replace clinical judgment and authorization. |
Excerpt the four rules: V2 takes precedence, missing items are not filled in, an unsigned D1 is not executed, and a discomfort record is referred with feedback pending.
List V2/V1/D1 and the response record timestamps, IDs, and scope of fiction, and do not fill a blank medication field as no medication.
Find the three discrepancies of P354, 720, and the missing blood pressure unit, and write the correction basis according to the original form.
Compute 8+6=14, with the original 16 over by 2; write the interview proposed for 10:30 pending confirmation from both parties and D1 pending sign-off, and do not fill in parameters.
Use only 11:05 referred to clinical and 11:10 feedback pending; do not invent resumed training or prescription outcomes.
Check the reference deliverable for ID, values, units, version, and status, and record the actual omissions and changes; if no one gives feedback, independent review is acceptable.
Judge from the paper process whether you wish to continue and what skills need to be added; separately check the real education, license, and supervision, since the exercise confers no qualification.
| Qualification and preparation item | Who it applies to | Role for this occupation | Whether it is universally required | Conditions and investment | Scale of investment | What it cannot replace |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Related bachelor's degree (typical US entry) | For those checking the US entry route | Typical BLS/OOH related bachelor's programs | Do not extrapolate to a general China threshold | Check specific institution and program conditions separately | No unified program-length or cost commitment | A degree does not create medical authorization |
| Master's preparation (US education survey) | For those comparing education paths | O*NET42% answered master's; not a requirement for the whole occupation | The survey distribution is not a universal requirement | Check the institution and target position separately | No unified two-to-three-year commitment | A degree does not equal a license and authorization |
| ACSM-EP certification (US certification program) | For those checking that specific program | Assessing fitness and exercise programs for healthy populations or those with medically controlled conditions | Specific certification conditions are not entry requirements for the whole occupation | At least a related bachelor's and Adult CPR/AED; First Aid applies from 2027 | Check the preparation conditions against the current wording of the certification | Does not equal a state license or full clinical authority |
| BLS/ACLS emergency care-related certifications (US employer context) | For those checking US position requirements | OOH states that employers usually require BLS or ACLS; both include CPR | Check the actual employer and jurisdiction conditions separately; do not extrapolate to all sites in China | Check the certification course validity period against the institution's wording | No unified hours or days | Does not expand the actual scope of practice |
| Equipment operation and records practice | For those whose target position involves equipment | Check specific procedures and records such as electrocardiogram stress testing | Check according to the actual position conditions | Check real courses, supervision, and authority separately | No promise of independence within a few months or a year | Paper verification does not prove equipment or diagnostic capability |
| Health information authority and records training | For those who handle such materials | Check the institution's conditions for information access, storage, and external sharing | Check according to jurisdiction, institution, and material type | Check the actual institutional training separately | No unified hours or days | Training does not expand data-use authorization |

The National Bureau of Statistics material checked this time is an industry-category measure, and no national single-occupation wage statistic precisely corresponding to this occupation was obtained; this page uses the 'Health and social work' urban unit average wage (2025 non-private 146,266 yuan/year, private 75,631 yuan/year) as an industry proxy, which only explains the industry background, and does not use industry averages or a single job posting quote to replace the occupational wage.
Insufficient evidence: no measured conclusion on overall augmentation or replacement for this occupation was obtained. ILO global potential exposure cannot be treated as this occupation's adoption rate, effect, or job outcome; the draft on this page is prepared as an editorial candidate.
No. The median is the midpoint of the wage distribution of workers in the same statistical period, not a starting salary; the 10th percentile is likewise only a distribution position and does not represent what a new entrant actually earns. Individual income depends on institution type, region, certification, and scope of responsibility.
US 2025 five-tier annual wages of 42,760/49,620/59,460/67,230/80,560 USD, hourly 20.56/23.86/28.59/32.32/38.73 USD, verified directly against the O*NET detailed table this round. The OOH four-industry medians are 59,820/57,010/53,940/45,180 USD/year, and the industry and occupational scopes are kept separate.
Insufficient evidence: no representative Chinese education and qualification sample was obtained. The typical US BLS entry is a related bachelor's degree, and both related work experience and on-the-job training are None; O*NET is Job Zone4, and the education survey is 50% bachelor's, 42% master's, 4% postsecondary certificate, which is not a China threshold. OOH states that state licensing requirements differ and employers usually require BLS or ACLS certification (including CPR); check the specific jurisdiction and position separately.
US OOH states that state licensing requirements differ and employers usually require BLS or ACLS (including CPR). ACSM-EP is a specific certification requiring at least a related bachelor's and Adult CPR/AED, with the First Aid item listed from 2027; these program requirements must not be extrapolated to the whole occupation or to China.
Editorial note: focus on inputs, plans, response records, and information permissions; this page did not obtain incidence rates or risk-reduction effects, and actual clinical, emergency, and practice authority are checked jurisdiction by jurisdiction.

2026-10-11 (author verification of the nine modules this round)
This round directly checked the O*NET tasks, education, and national 2025 wage detail tables, the current BLS 2025—2035 table 1.2 and this occupation's OOH page, the NBS2025 industry wages, and the ACSM-EP certification page; ILO WP96 and NIST1.0 reuse the same round's original materials already read, with the occupational extrapolation re-checked.
Limitations：US occupational materials do not automatically yield practice, certification, or employer requirements for mainland China, and they do not constitute medical or safety conclusions.
Limitations：It applies only to this occupational description; certification and practice requirements must be verified separately against the local jurisdiction's and institution's original text.
Limitations：The all-factors projection is not an actual result or AI causation; employment includes self-employed workers and cannot be compared directly with OEWS wage coverage.
Limitations：The entry URL is not the full precise wage text for this round, and it cannot be used to claim that percentile or by-industry data are unpublished.
Limitations：Industry average wages cover multiple occupations and cannot be treated as this occupation's median, starting salary, or an individual quote.
Limitations：It is not an external occupational fact source and does not replace official statistics or jurisdictional rules.
Limitations：The wage distribution is not a starting-salary tier, excludes self-employed workers, and does not guarantee individual take-home pay.
Limitations：US occupational rules do not function as Chinese law, and the complete regulations of each state were not checked individually; wages exclude self-employed workers.
Limitations：This specific certification is not a state license or a general Chinese requirement; the 2027 CAAHEP details were not checked in full this round, so no details are added.

Precise Chinese occupational wages, representative recruitment qualifications, and the occupation's actual AI effects lack evidence; NBS146,266/75,631 yuan/year is industry background only. The US 2025 national five-tier and OOH four-industry medians have been checked; BLS2025—2035 employment and exact growth are checked, and the current O*NET is also updated to that period and the 2025 industry. The ACSM-EP bachelor's and Adult CPR AED and the First Aid from 2027 are specific program conditions only and do not equal a license. Not all jurisdictions' complete medical privacy rules have been checked comprehensively.
