Overview

This course introduces Bachelor of Sport and Exercise (Honours) - Clinical Exercise Physiology students to clinical conditions for adults to middle age, with particular attention on how those conditions are influenced by exercise and physical activity. The course will build upon clinical knowledge and practical skills established in earlier courses. The curriculum in this course is constructed to meet requirements of the professional accreditation in exercise physiology, as set down by the professional body, Exercise and Sports Science Australia.

This course provides an introduction to the common conditions that affect individuals from the start of adulthood to middle age. This course will investigate the epidemiology, aetiology and pathophysiology of common and important cardiovascular, metabolic, pulmonary, musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, renal, mental health, and cancer conditions found in clinical adult populations up to middle age. Students will develop knowledge and skills to provide expert exercise assessment and testing, prescription of exercise interventions, and monitoring of adult clients' progress throughout the prescribed exercise. Additionally, this course will enable students to build fundamental and generic skills that underpin the practice of exercise physiology in Australia.

This course contains a mandatory residential school for external students and mandatory practical classes for on-campus students. To pass this course, students must attend 80% of the residential school or practical classes. Student non-compliance with the attendance requirement will mean the student cannot pass the course.
