Ethics & Values at IIAP

At the International Institute of Applied Physiology (IIAP), our work is built on a foundation of integrity, compassion, and respect. Applied Physiology is a highly professional field of kinesiology – a disciplined, evidence-informed approach to supporting wellbeing and performance that we practise and teach with care.

    We uphold honesty and professionalism in all interactions—whether in the classroom, clinic, or community.
  • Compassionate Care
    Our approach is grounded in empathy, ensuring clients and students feel safe, supported, and heard.
  • Confidentiality
    We honour the privacy of all students, clients, and colleagues. Trust is the foundation of effective learning and healing.

  • Global Responsibility
    As an international organisation, we act with cultural sensitivity and respect for diversity, seeking to make a positive impact in every community we serve.

The value of Ethics

Ethics are not an abstract concept at IIAP, they are woven into the way we teach, learn, and practice. As the professional stream of kinesiology, Applied Physiology is grounded in ethical responsibility, global standards, and compassionate practice. Our values create a safe and empowering environment for both students and clients. By living these principles, we ensure that Applied Physiology remains a discipline of professionalism, care, and excellence worldwide.

Our Commitment to You

Every IIAP Instructor and Practitioner agrees to uphold these principles. This ensures consistency in the quality of training and care across all countries where IIAP is represented.

Together, we create a professional community that is not only skilled but also deeply ethical, empowering each of us to contribute to a healthier, more compassionate world.
