"If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health"

Hippocrates

Exercise is Medicine!. In this module you will learn about the common chronic conditions that are having a significant impact on peoples health today and how regular exercise and increased physical activity can be used to help treat a variety of these chronic conditions. Using current exercise guidelines and the latest research literature you will develop key knowledge and practical skills which will enable you to screen patients for exercise, perform a wide range of health assessments and prescribe an individualised exercise programme for a variety of clinical populations. The knowledge and practical skills that you will develop in this module will provide you with a toolkit of knowledge and skills to take away for your future work.

This module will cover the following themes: Semester One: Rheumatoid Arthritis Multiple Sclerosis Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Coronary Heart Disease Cancer Introduction to Exercise Rehabilitation and Screening Patients, Exercise Testing, Exercise Prescription

Semester Two: Cardio Protective Effects of Exercise, Aging and Cardiovascular Health, Exercise and the Autonomic Nervous System, Examination of Vascular Health,

There are three assessments for this module - see assessment tab for further information.

Please note: module failure that prevents any student from passing the year will require resit assessment and attendance at Supplementary Assessment Week (exact date TBC but expected to be in July 2022).
