Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
In this module you will be taught through a series of lectures and tutorials to increase your knowledge on the benefits of regular exercise and physical activity on fitness and health outcomes, international guidelines, as well as common exercise testing and prescription procedures involved (LO1, LO2, LO3, LO4). The lectures and tutorials are also used to provide you with information on the evidence base for physical activity to improve health, as well as the deleterious impact of sedentary behaviour and prolonged periods of inactivity on health. The methods of screening and exercise testing special populations, the risks involved, and the evidence based exercise testing and training methods will be also focus of these sessions. Practical workshops will be used within the module to encourage the application of theory into practice to develop your communication, interpersonal and exercise testing and prescription skills that can be utilised with different populations in the real world (LO3, LO4, LO5). Tutorial sessions are used to encourage critical analysis of the current literature, laboratory data, as well as developing your presentation skills since you will be required to give short presentations on relevant journal articles (LO1, LO2, LO3, LO4, LO5).
|
Giving group presentations in tutorials and conducting small group consultations with your peers will be assessed and feedback provided. Your ability to prepare for workshops and tutorial presentations will have an impact on both the formative and summative assessments.
|
Your summative assessment is comprised of two components: an exercise testing and prescription case study and a written exam. In the first assessment you will deliver a one-to-one exercise testing and prescription session with a client following a defined process. You will be assessed on the content, delivery, and justification of the process in a written report [2000 words, 50% weighting, due in week 10, covering LOs 3,4 & 5]. The written exam will require critical analysis of relevant literature and discussion of the evidence surrounding specific topics that are covered in the module [3 hours, 50% weighting, due in week 14/15, covering LOs 1,2 & 4].
