Pre-requisite or Co-requisite: BIO1206 and SES2104 and SES2201 and SES2299 and SES3101

Rationale

This is a clinical skills course for the Bachelor of Sport and Exercise (Honours) (Clinical Exercise Physiology). Physiological and functional movement based assessment skills gained during the program will be extended to include clinical populations. The course will build upon knowledge and practical skills established in earlier courses including SES2104 and SES3201 to develop clinical knowledge and skills taught and assessed during this course that are requirements of the professional accreditation set down by the professional body, Exercise and Sports Science Australia, as standards for an Accredited Exercise Physiologist.

Synopsis

This course provides an introduction to the role and responsibilities of the clinical exercise physiology profession within the Australian healthcare system. This course will help develop the practical skills required by students when working with clinical clients and populations so they can provide expert exercise assessment and testing, prescription of exercise interventions, and monitoring of client progression throughout prescribed exercise. The course will requires interactive engagement for students to develop ability to self-analyse the rationale behind their clinical skills and clinical decision-making processes.

This course contains a mandatory residential school at the Ipswich campus for external students and mandatory on-campus laboratories or practical classes for on-campus students.

To complete the practical examination satisfactorily students must achieve 50% of the marks available (and be deemed clinically competent). To complete the attendance requirements satisfactorily students must achieve 80% attendance rate for either weekly classes (practicals) for on-campus students or residential school for external students. To satisfactorily complete the written exam students must achieve 50% of the marks available for that assessment item.

In meeting the 精东传媒app?s aims to establish quality learning and teaching for all programs, this course monitors and ensures quality assurance and improvements in at least two ways. This course:
1. conforms to the USQ Policy on Evaluation of Teaching, Courses and Programs to ensure ongoing monitoring and systematic improvement.
2. forms part of the Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology program and is benchmarked against the
o internal USQ accreditation/reaccreditation processes which include (i) stringent standards in the independent accreditation of its academic programs, (ii) close integration between business and academic planning, and (iii) regular and rigorous review.
o professional accreditation standards of the Exercise and Sports Science Australia, National 精东传媒app Course Accreditation Program, clinical exercise physiology.

Other requirements

1. Computer, e-mail and Internet access:
   Students are required to have access to a personal computer, e-mail capabilities and Internet access to UConnect. Current details of computer requirements can be found at .
