EXSS5065: Clinical Exercise Science Case Studies 1
2021 unit information
This unit will develop a high level of knowledge, clinical decision making and problem-solving skill by using complex cases related to clinical exercise physiology practice. The cases will include pathologies from the cardiopulmonary, neuromuscular and metabolic areas. Academic staff and experienced Exercise Physiology practitioners will use clinical scenarios and problem-based learning to guide students through the process of selecting and administering appropriate screening and assessment tools and developing effective, individualized exercise management plans. The clinical scenarios will present more complex cases than previously covered and will require the student to integrate prior knowledge and experiences with new learning.

At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:
- LO1. explain the pathophysiology and clinical background to each population that is covered in this unit
- LO2. demonstrate a critical understanding of the role of exercise in the management of chronic obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular, respiratory, neuromuscular and skeletal clinical conditions
- LO3. demonstrate a critical understanding of the range of clinical and exercise- based assessments for individuals with chronic obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular, respiratory, neuromuscular and skeletal clinical conditions

Departmental permission requirements
If you see the ‘Departmental Permission’ tag below a session, it means you need faculty or school approval to enrol. This may be because it’s an advanced unit, clinical placement, offshore unit, internship or there are limited places available.
You will be prompted to apply for departmental permission when you select this unit in Sydney Student.
