Overview

This course provides an overview of sports medicine and exercise rehabilitation as it relates to injury prevention, exercise rehabilitation and sports medicine. This course addresses information that is particularly relevant to those involved in health, fitness and sports contexts and provides knowledge and skills relevant to a range of sports medicine and exercise rehabilitation issues. Students will identify the importance of ensuring the safe involvement of individuals and groups in physical activity and will be able to plan to ensure that this occurs. Although students will focus on knowledge and skills applicable to generally healthy individuals the course will also consider the lifespan and different population groups. The close association between exercise physiologists, sports scientists and other allied health professionals is emphasised. Students will be able to outline their personal role in any rehabilitation processes required of individuals and which may be conducted in association with other professionals. Students will be made aware of the need to constantly improve their knowledge and skills and to foster close links with professionals in relevant areas.

The course will examine exercise rehabilitation and injury prevention for physical activity in a range of activities across the lifespan, and within specific populations. Topics covered include the various factors associated with injury, strategies to prevent injury, and the role of exercise in the rehabilitative process. Addressing exercise prescription and rehabilitation provides a focus on musculoskeletal rehabilitation protocols specifically targeting shoulder, knee and ankle rehabilitation and builds on an understanding of the fundamental principles of exercise physiology. The course will review and incorporate knowledge and skills from various disciplines that is appropriate to sports medicine.

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.

Course learning outcomes

On completion of this course students should be able to:

  1. Explain the nature of sports medicine and exercise rehabilitation, and outline and justify the nature and role of the allied health care professional.
  2. Identify relevant information related to safety and injury prevention and explain about the nature of sport injury prevention, therapeutic modalities and exercise rehabilitation using advanced technologies to formulate programs for a range of musculoskeletal conditions.
  3. Analyse specified injuries and various conditions which are influenced by sport and physical activity across the lifespan and investigate a range of sports medicine and exercise rehabilitation considerations which can influence the stages of rehabilitation.
  4. Demonstrate the basic exercise rehabilitation prescription for the stages of rehabilitation as well as various therapeutic modalities in the rehabilitative process.
  5. Synthesise and integrate knowledge and skills from various disciplines (e.g., motor learning and motor control, biomechanics and strength and conditioning) to sports medicine and exercise rehabilitation and both incorporate research findings and design relevant research projects in action research settings.
