Description of module content:

This module considers exercise programming design, prescription, understanding and delivery for individuals with health conditions. It will include theoretical knowledge and practical experience. More specifically in this module you will learn how to design safe, effective and evidence-based interventions for clinical populations through gaining practical knowledge, using current guidelines and also appraising published scientific literature. You will develop the ability of how to consider multiple factors (environmental, physical, psychological, medical etc) to prescribe optimal exercise interventions in terms of modes, frequency, intensity, durations and how you can design progressions and regressions accordingly. A particular focus will be given to evaluating contraindications, identifying risks, and monitoring adverse signs as well as optimally monitoring and evaluating the outcomes of exercise interventions. The module content and assessments are designed to achieve the above goals.

Learning Outcomes for module:

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Critically appraise scientific evidence and use current guidelines to inform evidence-based exercise plans that are safe and effective.

LO2: Analyse and evaluate an individual’s medical, clinical and assessment profile while taking into consideration environmental, psychological, social and cultural needs.

LO3: Apply scientific knowledge and practical skills regarding the risks and benefits of exercise to develop and lead individual and condition specific exercise treatment goals.

LO4: Apply theoretical knowledge and practical skills to evaluate contraindications to exercise and lead individuals with comorbidities in exercise programmes.

LO5: Apply theoretical knowledge and practical skills to identify and monitor adverse signs and symptoms during an exercise session and recovery and take appropriate action where necessary.

LO6: Critically evaluate methods of monitoring and evaluating the outcomes of exercise interventions.
