Description
This subject provides the pathophysiological and pharmacological foundation essential for clinical exercise physiology practice through an innovative flipped classroom model. Students examine the cellular, tissue, and organ-level mechanisms underlying common chronic diseases encountered in Accredited Exercise Physiology practice, including cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, respiratory conditions, musculoskeletal pathology, cancer, and renal disease. Integrated pharmacology content equips students to understand medication-exercise interactions and modify exercise prescription based on pharmaceutical management.
Subject details
Learning outcomes
- Synthesise the cellular and multi-system pathophysiological mechanisms of common chronic disease clusters, to inform clinical exercise decision-making.
- Analyse how disease pathologies alter acute physiological responses and chronic adaptations to exercise across multi-system and oncological presentations.
- Evaluate pharmacological profiles to determine medication-exercise interactions and required prescription modifications
- Integrate clinical reasoning frameworks with pathophysiological and pharmacological knowledge to formulate evidence-based exercise prescriptions for complex multi-morbidity.
- Communicate clinical science and medication considerations to interprofessional teams and clients using appropriate, health-literate strategies.
