Module JXH-3048:
Exercise for Clinical Populati

Module Facts

Run by School of Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences

10.000 Credits or 5.000 ECTS Credits

Semester 1

Organiser: Dr Aamer Sandoo

Overall aims and purpose

This module gives students an understanding about the pathophysiology of common chronic diseases, including an appreciation of the role lifestyle plays in the risk of developing these diseases. The module will also provide insight about the role of exercise in preventing and treating these diseases. The module provides core knowledge to students wishing to pursue careers in exercise rehabilitation and clinical physiology.

Course content

The module will consist of interactive seminars and self-study. Students will learn about common chronic diseases including (but not limited to) coronary heart disease, autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and multiple sclerosis), stroke, and chronic kidney disease. A special lecture will be provided about the role of exercise during pregnancy. A novel aspect of this module is that real patients will be coming in to talk to patients about how their condition affects their day to day life as well as the role exercise plays in alleviating symptoms and improving outcomes.

Learning outcomes

  1. On successful completion of this module, students will be able to: 1) Explain the pathophysiology of common chronic diseases; 2) Assess the role lifestyle plays in preventing and treating common chronic diseases; 3) Appraise the potential benefit and risk of exercise interventions in common chronic diseases; 4) Construct exercise interventions for implementation in common chronic diseases.
