Recently, many people were interested in 'exercise' for his/her own healthy life. Also, 'category of exercise prescription' was interested in our society. But, doing exercises which was individualized scientifically could be safety and effective. Therefore, the experts and staff in the field of exercise programming for management and support systematically would be increased. But, in our country, some of the process for obtaining certification was not completed, because there were differences in their role and position between field of medical and exercise science. The history of our country's certification program was short and incomplete. Although our current system of training or certifying for exercise specialist had many problems, official certification for exercise prescription was first level of Sports for All Leader. There were category of certification, condition for apply, employment and management of certificator, role in related medical field. Also, non-official certification system had more many problems which were various organizations, limited range of certification, expensive apply fees for the certification, their quality levels. Therefore, Korean's training or certification system of exercise specialist would be developed by re-categorizing for current official certification system, enhancing administration for employ and management of certificator, cooperating among similar professional organizations and leading national associations engaging in this field, would be strived to increase qualification for curriculum in field of exercise science and authority.
