There are no pre-requisites for this module to be added

In this module you will cover the aetiology, statistics and treatments for a range of health conditions (cancer, cardiovascular, frailty, renal, mental health, metabolic, musculoskeletal, neurological and respiratory). During the module we will focus on the underlying pathophysiology of all these conditions. This module will highlight the relevant treatment side effects and key practical issues related to exercising with these conditions.

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Critically explore human anatomy and integrative systems physiology and knowledge of the pathophysiological base for all conditions.

LO2: Critically analyse and evaluate relevant risk factors, signs and symptoms and how pathology might impact on activity of daily living and exercise for all conditions.

LO3: Examine the elements of common diagnostic procedures and criteria for all conditions and critically explore the purpose, rationale and clinical outcomes of these therapeutic interventions and allied health treatments.

LO4: Evaluate the impact of conditions on the physiological responses to common forms of exercise, including aerobic exercise, resistance exercise, flexibility and activities of daily living.

LO5: Hypothesise the effect of surgical medical and pharmacological treatments on exercise capacity and physiological responses to exercise.

LO6: Draw conclusions on the adaptations to exercise training and how these are modulated by conditions and common treatments
