This unit provides students with the knowledge and skills to work effectively with patients with specific conditions so that appropriate evaluation, and exercise testing and prescription is administered. Students will explore the changes that occur in cancer, mental health and other specific conditions such as pregnancy and post partum, childhood and ageing, and how exercise testing and prescription is modified for these groups. The role of preventative and rehabilitative exercise in workplace health and chronic pain will also be explored as well as exercise and the environment. -- Course Website
