Content
This unit provides a thorough examination of the pathophysiological aspects, diagnosis and medical regimens and lifestyle management for a range of cardiopulmonary diseases. Through both theoretical and practical experiences, students develop their knowledge and skills to work effectively with patients with cardiopulmonary pathologies. This will enable students to provide clinical exercise services such as assessment of exercise capacity and individualised exercise prescription for clientele with cardiopulmonary pathologies.
| ULO | These are the Learning Outcomes (ULO) for this unit. At the completion of this unit, successful students can: | Deakin Graduate Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|
| ULO1 | Explain and apply the pathophysiology and response to exercise for common cardiopulmonary diseases to justify the design of evidence-based assessment and prescription for these conditions. | GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities |
| ULO2 | Administer, interpret and evaluate exercise assessments for varying delivery modes that considers the interaction of pharmacotherapy, exercise history, medical history and pathophysiology of cardiopulmonary diseases. | GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities |
| ULO3 | Investigate, design and evaluate person-centred and evidence-based exercise prescription approaches for cardiopulmonary diseases which considers the interaction of pharmacotherapy on exercise responses, diverse backgrounds and a biopsychosocial approach. | GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities |
| ULO4 | Communicate through written, verbal or digital strategies or documentation in language appropriate for clients, carers and healthcare professionals in the provision of exercise services for clients with cardiopulmonary diseases. | GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities |
| ULO5 | Demonstrate and apply the knowledge of the actions of commonly prescribed medications for cardiopulmonary diseases and how such physiological changes may impact a client at rest or their exercise prescription. | GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities |
Assessment
Trimester 1:| Assessment description | Student output | Grading and weighting (% total mark for unit) | Indicative due week |
