Advanced Exercise Programming
EXSS5060
The aim of this unit is to provide comprehensive and critical examination of the physiological responses during exercise, with particular emphasis upon diagnostic exercise testing and clinical exercise prescription. A focus of this unit will be the application of exercise testing and prescription to the promotion and maintenance of health for individuals with clinical conditions of complex and/or compound aetiology. The pathophysiological bases of exercise limitations in various diseases and disability populations, and the clinical use of exercise assessment for these individuals are studied with particular reference to the cardiorespiratory and musculoskeletal systems. Through the use of lectures, case studies and sort CET placements, students will integrate advanced concepts of exercise physiology into logistical aspects of exercise performance for healthy and clinical populations, and thereby devise individualised exercise assessment and deploy exercise prescriptions for a broad range of individuals.
