This subject addresses the pathophysiological basis of mental health and fatigue disorders.
This subject comprises a combination of online learning and compulsory on-campus (residential)
activities. Students will explore environmental, behavioral, and clinical factors
influencing participation in exercise across the lifespan, as well as the identification
and management of exercise contraindications, and adverse signs and symptoms of mental
health and fatigue disorders influencing exercise participation.
Learning Outcomes

and diagnosis, treatment, and cognitive limitations and safety considerations associated
with mental health and fatigue disorders;

disorders, to identify barriers to participation, contraindications, and/or risk to
exercise;

including recognising and responding to ethical, moral, and legal responsibilities
as allied health professionals;
- Recognise psychosocial factors influencing participation, and identify contraindications
