Data on the critical and distinctive skills necessary for those working in the Exercise Physiology field from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Exercise Physiology majors need many skills, but most especially Reading Comprehension. The revealed comparative advantage (RCA) shows that Exercise Physiology majors need more than the average amount of Equipment Selection, Installation, Technology Design, Service Orientation, Instructing, Science, Learning Strategies, Social Perceptiveness, Programming, Monitoring, Operation and Control, Persuasion, Reading Comprehension, Writing, Speaking, Judgment and Decision Making, Critical Thinking, Negotiation, Active Listening, Management of Personnel Resources, Systems Evaluation, Coordination, Active Learning, Troubleshooting, Systems Analysis, Complex Problem Solving, Mathematics, Operation Monitoring, Operations Analysis, Time Management, Quality Control Analysis, Management of Material Resources, Equipment Maintenance, Repairing, and Management of Financial Resources.
These two visualizations, one a radial chart and one a bar chart, show the same information, a rating of how necessary the following skills are for Exercise Physiology majors. Toggle between "value" and "RCA" to see the absolute rating of that skill (value) and the revealed comparative advantage (RCA), or how much greater or lesser that skill's rating is than the average. The longer the bar or the closer the line comes to the circumference of the circle, the more important that skill is. The importance of Equipment Selection is very distinctive for majors, but the Reading Comprehension, Speaking, Active Listening, Critical Thinking, Writing, Monitoring, Instructing, Service Orientation, Social Perceptiveness, Judgment and Decision Making, Complex Problem Solving, Active Learning, Learning Strategies, Coordination, Persuasion, Systems Analysis, Systems Evaluation, Time Management, Negotiation, Mathematics, Science, Management of Personnel Resources, Operation Monitoring, Operations Analysis, Quality Control Analysis, Technology Design, Operation and Control, Troubleshooting, Equipment Selection, Programming, Management of Material Resources, Management of Financial Resources, Installation, Equipment Maintenance, and Repairing are the three most important skills for people in the field.
