EXSS5103: Exercise in Cardiometabolic Diseases
2024 unit information
The unit will develop knowledge, clinical decision making and practical skills for the assessment, design and delivery of physical activity for target conditions in the cardiopulmonary, metabolic and kidney disease AEP pathology domains. Clinical scenarios will be used to develop understanding of the pathological and pathophysiolgical bases for disease, diagnostic procedures, medical and allied health management, including medications. This will require the student to integrate prior knowledge, skills and experiences with new learning in the context of metabolic, cardiopulmonary and kidney disease management. Students will develop the capacity for appropriate assessment, monitoring, prescription and implementation of physical activity for cardiopulmonary and metabolic disease clientele including those with chronic kidney disease, to ultimately design and deliver safe and effective physical activity management plans that are individualised and evidence-based.

At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:
- LO1. Demonstrate professional conduct and clinical practice in case management, delivery of physical activity interventions and reporting, which is consistent with the Scope of Practice of an AEP and appropriate for a multidisciplinary care environment.
- LO2. Demonstrate advanced knowledge and understanding of the pathophysiological bases for disease for conditions in the AEP metabolic, cardiovascular, kidney and respiratory/pulmonary domains.
- LO3. Design and deliver safe and effective assessments and physical activity interventions for people across the AEP metabolic, cardiovascular, kidney and respiratory/pulmonary domains. This includes applying evidence-based practice and clinical practice principles in combination with consideration of client goals and history (including medications, medical and allied health treatments/management, and other influencing factors).
- LO4. Appropriately monitor, evaluate and modify physical activity interventions for people across the AEP metabolic, cardiovascular, kidney and respiratory/pulmonary domains. This includes recognising and responding appropriately to changes in clinical status and adverse signs and symptoms at rest, during and post exercise.
- LO5. Use effective and appropriate communication, including verbal and written with clients, referrer and other relevant stakeholders to deliver safe and effective client-centred care. This includes the reporting of assessment outcomes, changes in clinical status, and referrals.
