This subject addresses the fundamental principles of clinical exercise physiology
professional practice. The roles and responsibilities of the exercise physiologist
in an inter-professional environment; contemporary challenges of the healthcare sector;
and the pathophysiological basis of chronic disease will be addressed. The subject
provides a basis for the knowledge, skills and attributes required as an exercise
physiologist involving an understanding of reflective practice, clinical note taking,
communication (inter-professional, peer to peer and practitioner to client), as well
as ethics, scope of practice and legal frameworks. The subject will also examine the
effects of chronic disease on anatomical structures and the physiological changes
occurring as a result of processes of disease, in order to provide an understanding
of cardiopulmonary, metabolic and renal conditions, as well as musculoskeletal, neurological/neuromuscular,
cancers and mental health conditions.
Learning Outcomes
- ability to describe contemporary challenges of healthcare environments, with a focus
on clinical exercise physiology and the principles of effective communication in inter-professional,
peer to peer and practitioner to client interactions;
- demonstrated knowledge of the pathophysiological basis; identification and diagnosis,
treatment and functional limitations and safety considerations associated with cardiopulmonary,
metabolic and renal conditions, as well as musculoskeletal, neurological/neuromuscular,
cancers and mental health conditions;
- demonstrated ability to apply the fundamental principles of professional practice
and behaviour including reflection, clinical note taking and appropriate behaviour
within professional, ethical and legal frameworks of Clinical Exercise Physiology.
