Requisites
Pre-requisite: BIO1206 and SES2104 and SES3130 and Students must be enrolled in the following Program: BSEH
Rationale
This course introduces Bachelor of Sport and Exercise (Honours) - Clinical Exercise Physiology students to clinical conditions for adults to middle age, with particular attention on how those conditions are influenced by exercise and physical activity. The course will build upon clinical knowledge and practical skills established in earlier courses. The curriculum in this course is constructed to meet requirements of the professional accreditation in exercise physiology, as set down by the professional body, Exercise and Sports Science Australia.
Synopsis
This course provides an introduction to the common conditions that affect individuals from the start of adulthood to middle age. This course will investigate the epidemiology, aetiology and pathophysiology of common and important cardiovascular, pulmonary, musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, renal, mental health, and cancer conditions found in clinical adult populations up to middle age. Students will develop knowledge and skills to provide expert exercise assessment and testing, prescription of exercise interventions, and monitoring of clients' progress throughout the prescribed exercise. Additionally, this course will enable students to build fundamental and generic skills that underpin the practice of exercise physiology in Australia.
This course contains a mandatory residential school at the Ipswich campus for external students and mandatory on-campus practicals for on-campus students.
Objectives
On successful completion of this course students should be able to:
- Explain and further investigate the epidemiology, aetiology and pathophysiology of common and important cardiovascular, pulmonary, musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, renal, mental health, and cancer conditions found in adults to middle age.
- Describe and analyse assessment, design, delivery and evaluation of exercise interventions for these conditions, matched to clients’ goals and clinical outcomes.
- Interpret medical tests, interventions, and treatments in relation to exercise and functional capacities.
- Prepare and interpret written professional reports (medical and allied health) and critically evaluate the role of multidisciplinary interventions on client outcomes.

Notes
- This practical test will take place during the last practical workshop for ONC students or on the last day of the residential school for external students.
- Students need to attend at least 80% of practical workshops or residential school.
- This will be an online exam. Students will be provided further instruction regarding the exam by their course examiner via StudyDesk. The examination date will be available via UConnect when the Alternate Assessment Schedule has been released.
Important assessment information
-
Attendance requirements:
External students must attend the mandatory residential school (minimum 80% attendance). It is the students' responsibility to attend and participate appropriately in all activities (such as lectures and tutorials) scheduled for them, and to study all material provided to them or required to be accessed by them to maximise their chance of meeting the objectives of the course and to be informed of course-related activities and administration. -
Requirements for students to complete each assessment item satisfactorily:
To satisfactorily complete an individual assessment item a student must achieve at least 50% of the marks for that item. -
Penalties for late submission of required work:
Students should refer to the Assessment Procedure (point 4.2.4). -
Requirements for student to be awarded a passing grade in the course:
To be assured of receiving a passing grade a student must obtain at least 50% of the total weighted marks available for the course (i.e. the Primary Hurdle), must have satisfied the Secondary Hurdle (Proficiency), i.e. the practical test 1 by achieving at least 50% of the marks available for that assessment item, and must have satisfied the Secondary Hurdle (Supervised), i.e. the end of semester examination by achieving at least 40% of the marks available for that assessment item. -
Method used to combine assessment results to attain final grade:
The final grades for students will be assigned on the basis of the aggregate of the weighted marks obtained for each of the summative items for the course. -
Examination information:
An Online Examination is one in which candidates may have access to any printed, written, or online material as well as a calculator. -
Examination period when Deferred/Supplementary examinations will be held:
Deferred and Supplementary examinations will be held in accordance with the Assessment Procedure . -
University Student Policies:
Students should read the USQ policies: Definitions, Assessment and Student Academic Misconduct to avoid actions which might contravene University policies and practices. These policies can be found at .
Assessment Notes
-
Referencing in assignments must comply with the APA referencing system. This system should be used by students to format details of the information sources they have cited in their work. The APA style to be used is defined by the USQ library's referencing guide. This guide can be found at
Evaluation and Benchmarking
This course is benchmarked against external accreditation standards for exercise physiology as required by Exercise and Sport Science Australia.
Other Requirements
