Students will develop a comprehensive understanding of exercise prescription as it pertains to a general population. Students will apply the principles of exercise delivery and prescription, including in reference to chronic disease conditions, within an appropriate scope of practice. Capacity to monitor key signs and symptoms, including in key chronic disease settings, will be demonstrated. Students will design and implement a training plan.

Learning outcomes

Upon successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:
1. Analyse advanced exercise programming principles and the impact that chronic disease conditions have on these principles;
2. Conduct and interpret health-based and exercise monitoring assessments; and
3. Design and implement an evidence-based training plan appropriate to individual client scenarios.
