Technogym strengthens its long-standing partnership with the American College of Sports Medicine
ACSM and Technogym have renewed their collaboration in the Exercise is Medicine initiative, integrating exercise into medical prescriptions with Technogym’s advanced digital services and equipment.
The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) – the largest, most respected sports medicine organization in the world – and Technogym – a world-leading company in equipment and digital technologies for fitness, health and sport – joined forces in the global health initiative Exercise in Medicine (EIM), founded in 2007, whose goal is to encourage health professionals to include exercise plans in medical prescriptions, with the aim of effectively treating and preventing chronic health conditions.
Within this framework, Technogym is now an official partner of both ACSM and the EIM initiative as ‘Global ACSM partner’ and ‘Global EIM Partner’, in all countries. The brand’s AI-driven digital ecosystem and its superior equipment, born from advanced biomechanics and physiology research, enable health operators to deliver a precise and personalized data-based exercise prescription and to track and monitor data related to the patient’s condition.

“We are excited about this next phase of our long-time partnership with Technogym,” said ACSM President Stella Volpe, PhD, ACSM-CEP, FACSM. “Leaders evolve and adapt as they seek continuous improvement, and we share a mutual vision to drive better health through physical activity and advances in science, technology and innovation.”
Technogym and ACSM are actively engaged in promoting physical activity and exercise as an integral part of the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases. In this perspective, the amount and quality of the exercise performed by the patient must be considered by the general practitioner as a clinical parameter on a par with blood pressure, weight, and glycaemia.

Since 2010, researchers at ACSM have partnered with Technogym to draw up a series of protocols for the treatment of numerous diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, obesity, type-2 diabetes, and osteoporosis by means of specific exercise programs. ACSM has made its training and information channels available to promote the prescription of these therapeutic protocols among the network of medical professionals it represents: 70 sports medicine professions, and nearly 50,000 members and certified professionals from 90 countries.
Technogym has supported the role of physical exercise as a medicine for years through its research activities and its complete ecosystem of products and programs. Technogym has also been chosen as a partner for several global projects and institutional initiatives linked to the promotion of physical exercise as a form of prevention and as a real medicine for treating numerous pathologies.
