Content
This unit introduces students to the field of physical activity and exercise for health. Students will explore the benefits of physical activity and risks of sedentary behaviour and will gain an understanding of why people participate in physical activity and exercise. Common theories of behaviour change and key correlates of physical activity participation are explored and an introduction to physical activity interventions is provided. Throughout the unit, students are required to source and reflect on high quality evidence in particular to advise a client on their current physical activity patterns and offer evidence-based suggestions for increasing their physical activity.
