Requisites

Pre-requisite: SES3202 and SES3231 and Students must be enrolled in the following Program: BSEH

Rationale

This is an advanced clinical skills course for the Bachelor of Sport and Exercise (Honours) (Clinical Exercise Physiology). Physiological and functional movement based assessment skills gain during the program will be extended to include clinical populations. The skills taught and assessed during this course are requirements of the professional accreditation (National 精东传媒app Course Accreditation Program) set down by the professional body Exercise and Sport Science Australia, as standards for Accredited Exercise Physiologist.

Synopsis

This course provides an introduction to the clinical exercise physiology profession within the Australian healthcare system. This course will enable students to develop the practical skills required by students when working with clinical populations to provide expert exercise assessment and testing, prescription of exercise interventions, and monitoring of clients' progression throughout the prescribed exercise programs. The course will focus on interactive engagement with the students to develop students' ability to analyse the rationale behind their clinical skills (clinical decision-making processes and report writing structure). Additionally, this course will build a resource for students' fundamental and generic skills that underpins an Accredited Exercise Physiologists.

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

Objectives

On successful completion of this course students will be able to:

  1. Refer clients to, and use referrals from medical practitioners and allied health professionals to design appropriate exercise interventions.
  2. Compare and evaluate the national compensation schemes and legislation that relate to clinical exercise physiology.
  3. Explain and justify clinical services appropriate for workers compensation and compulsory third-party services.
  4. Analyse and display professional and ethical behaviour, and provided examples of legal issues for clinical exercise physiology.
  5. Effectively communicate with and assess clients and design appropriate exercise interventions in a professional manner.
