Content
This unit will apply and further develop foundation knowledge of clinical exercise testing and prescription for unique and emerging population groups in AEP practice. The aim of this unit is to develop the skills and knowledge required to adapt clinical practice approaches in the occupational environment, and additionally, the use of clinical exercise in a range of conditions experienced throughout remaining key life stages which include paediatrics, pregnancy, menopause, arthritis, osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and geriatrics. This unit aims to provide students with a theoretical knowledge of these key areas, and an opportunity to apply this knowledge and competently in AEP practice.
| ULO | These are the Learning Outcomes (ULO) for this unit. At the completion of this unit, successful students can: | |
| ULO1 | Integrate the epidemiological, aetiological and physiological determinants of health and performance across the lifespan and in those with disability. | GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities |
| ULO2 | Analyse and interpret the impact of workplace environmental factors and workplace physical demands, and the findings of job task assessments and functional capacity evaluations. | GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities |
| ULO3 | Develop and design an innovative clinical program incorporating telepractice aimed at managing key pathologies or life-stages. | GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities |
| ULO4 | Develop exercise physiology services that consider and justify strategies based on sociocultural, geographical or financial influences to ensure a client centred provision of clinical exercise physiology services. | GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilities |
