Content
The unit provides students with clinical skills required of an accredited exercise physiologist (AEP) in accordance with legislation, regulations and standards expected of an AEP within the Australian healthcare system. Students will enhance and build upon the skills base of the exercise scientist through a focus on practical skill development to apply evidence-based practice to support person-centred service delivery.
Through development of appropriate clinical decision making with respect to exercise testing and prescription, students will learn to work effectively, instruct and evaluate exercise intervention programs for targeted clinical populations. Students will apply clinical skills, taking-into-account practice that is safe, respectful, and inclusive to people of diverse backgrounds and populations.
