Pre-requisite or Co-requisite: SES3231

Overview

This course introduces Bachelor of Sport and Exercise (Honours) (Clinical Exercise Physiology) students to clinical conditions for populations within the middle age to later years range. The course will build upon knowledge and practical skills established in earlier courses including SES3130 and SES3231 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.

This course provides an introduction to the common conditions that affect people in their middle age to later years. This course addresses the epidemiology, aetiology and pathophysiology of major cardiovascular, metabolic, pulmonary, musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, renal, cancer, and mental health conditions commonly found in clinical populations from middle age to later years. Students will develop knowledge and skills to provide expert exercise assessment and testing, prescription of exercise interventions, and monitoring of older adult clients' progress throughout prescribed exercise.

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 successful completion of this course students should be able to:

  1. Investigate the epidemiology, aetiology and pathophysiology of the major cardiovascular, metabolic, pulmonary, musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, renal, cancer, and mental health conditions commonly found in adults from middle age to later years.
  2. Describe and analyse design, delivery and evaluation of exercise tests and interventions for older adult clients.
  3. Interpret the impact of medical interventions/treatments in relation to exercise and functional capacities.
  4. Prepare and interpret written professional reports suitable for medical and allied health referral, and demonstrating the role of multi-disciplinary interventions.
