The unit will develop and understanding of the scope of practice, knowledge, clinical decision making and practical skills for the assessment, design and delivery of evidence-based exercise interventions for target conditions in the cardiovascular and metabolic AEP pathology domains. Clinical scenarios will be used to develop understanding of the pathological and pathophysiological bases for disease, diagnostic procedures, medical and allied health interventions, including surgery and medications. This will require the student to integrate prior knowledge, skills and experiences with new learning in the context of cardiometabolic disease management. Emphasis will be placed on the evaluation of the evidence based for exercise prescription, the fundamental determinants of behaviour change, and how to identify and respond appropriately to contraindications to exercise, or changes in clinical status. By the end of the unit, students will have developed the capacity for appropriate assessment, monitoring, prescription and implementation of exercise for cardiometabolic disease clientele, to ultimately design and deliver safe and effective physical activity management plans that are individualised and evidence-based
