This unit aims to develop core and applied knowledge and skills for working with clients that present with common clinical conditions that align with an Accredited Exercise Physiologist's scope of practice. Students build foundational knowledge on pathophysiology, risk factors, safety and special considerations, and evidence-based treatment and intervention approaches, as well as exploring biopsychosocial and health service contexts that shape a person's lived experience with common conditions. Students design safe and effective exercise interventions that consider their role as an AEP within the multidisciplinary care team and develop clinical reasoning and decision-making skills for providing evidence-based and value-based care in a person-centred philosophy.
1. Explain knowledge of the pathophysiological bases, risk factors and treatments, including exercise intervention, for common conditions that are core to the scope of practice of ESSA Accredited Exercise Physiologists;
2. Design evidence-based exercise intervention plans that implement safe and effective assessment, prescription and delivery, supported by behaviour change and collaborative care principles, for individual clients presenting with complex comorbidity;
3. Examine person-centred exercise intervention plans that demonstrate ethical and respectful practice that may be viewed as inclusive and culturally safe;
4. Justify approaches to exercise physiology interventions for common clinical conditions; with clinical reasoning that demonstrates decisions are informed by individual health history, referral and assessment information, biopsychosocial context, digital literacy and scientific evidence; and
5. Compare and critique different approaches to exercise physiology practice and broader health professional practices; reflecting on opportunities for contemporary, responsive and value-based health care for common conditions, in line with ESSA Accredited Exercise Physiology Professional Standards.
