The subject addresses the scope of practice and professional roles and responsibilities
of the exercise physiologist; the pathophysiological basis of cardiopulmonary and
metabolic conditions; and the assessment, diagnostic, medical and exercise-based interventions
associated with the treatment and prevention of cardiopulmonary and metabolic conditions
and of complex case management. The subject examines the safety aspects of exercise
for cardiopulmonary and metabolic conditions with emphasis on exercise capacity limitations;
knowledge of, identification of and management of exercise contraindications and adverse
signs and symptoms; risk factor stratification and monitoring; medication effects
on exercise, behaviour change and client communication. The subject also encompasses
the knowledge and practical application of designing, interpreting and facilitating
assessments and clinical exercise interventions for cardiopulmonary and metabolic
conditions.
Learning Outcomes
- Demonstrated knowledge of the pathophysiological basis; identification and diagnosis,
treatment and functional limitations and safety considerations associated with cardiopulmonary
and metabolic conditions;
- Demonstrated ability to use and interpret results collected from spirometers, blood
tests, and blood pressure, heart rate, ECG and oxygen saturation monitors;
- Demonstrated knowledge of the scope of practice and professional roles and responsibilities
of the exercise physiologist, including behaviour change and client communication;
- Demonstrated ability to assess limitations; recognize adverse reactions; and prescribe
and facilitate exercise associated with cardiopulmonary and metabolic conditions and
with complex cases.
