Rationale

This course focuses on the design and delivery of high quality exercise programs to meet the health, fitness and/or sports performance and rehabilitation goals of clients. The course has a strong practical component that incorporates knowledge and skills gained from exercise testing, prescription, design and delivery. Evidence based research from various discipline areas will be drawn to outline best practice. The knowledge and skills developed during the delivery of this course is central to many professional roles within the sport and exercise area.

Synopsis

This course will provide an opportunity for students to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to deliver a client specific exercise program either in-person or remotely in individual and group sessions to meet their specific goals and needs. The course outlines and provides practical experiences in how to deliver an exercise program for apparently healthy clients and those with pathology or injury that has been prescribed by an appropriately qualified health professional. The delivery of exercise programs for clients for groups and clients across the lifespan, including those with special needs will also be outlined.

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.

Objectives

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

  1. Utilise knowledge of evidence based exercise programs to address the needs of a wide range of groups within the population
  2. Apply a range of high level knowledge and skills, relevant to specific disciplines, to design and evaluate quality exercise programs to meet specific goals of clients.
  3. Display a range of skills and knowledge to ensure that exercise programs are planned and conducted in an effective, safe and professional manner.
  4. Apply the practical knowledge and skills required to meet the implementation requirements of an effective exercise program, including the ability to monitor, evaluate and modify exercise programs where necessary for referral to other allied health or medical professionals.
