This module will follow on from Clinical Skills I. Throughout this module, you will continue developing your knowledge and practical skills required to work as a Clinical Exercise Physiologist. You will develop your skills and techniques in relation to cardiopulmonary exercise testing, respiratory function, metabolism and appropriate tests to use in a field setting. As well as developing your technical ability you will gain an in-depth knowledge on interpretation of the data you collect.

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Critique a broad range of evidence-based measurement tools (e.g. cardiorespiratory fitness, joint range of motion, spirometry, electrocardiogram) and patient reported outcome measures (e.g., rate of perceived exertion, dyspnoea, physical activity) for the assessment of clinical and functional status for all conditions.

LO2: Justify the use of appropriate assessments, administer these safely and interpret data to establish baseline or ongoing health status as part of the planning of exercise interventions.

LO3: Critically evaluate and record the results of clinical status and functional capacity assessments and to communicate the outcomes and relevance to patients and other healthcare providers.
