EXSS5101: Design and Implementation of Exercise
2024 unit information
This unit focuses on the development of understanding and skills relating to the design and implementation of physical activity based interventions in the scope of Accredited Exercise Physiology practice. The unit ultimately aims to develop the capacity for design and delivery of safe and effective exercise plans that consider client treatment goals, medical history, clinical status and other influencing factors using an evidence-based practice approach as foundation. These individualised interventions will positively affect functional capacity, health and/or behaviours of the individual. Students will develop skills in the use of behaviour change for lifestyle intervention, and in the monitoring and revision of exercise and exercise programs, for application in the context of target conditions in the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular domains and a broad range of target pathologies and complex cases.

At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:
- LO1. Demonstrate professional conduct and practice in delivering physical activity interventions, which is consistent with the ESSA Code of Professional Conduct, and Ethical Practice.
- LO2. Employ evidence-based practice and clinical practice principles in combination with assessment outcomes, in the design and delivery of safe and effective physical activity interventions within the scope of AEP practice.
- LO3. Evaluate the evidence base for physical activity interventions for the management of the AEP cardiovascular, metabolic, respiratory/pulmonary and kidney domains.
- LO4. Demonstrate the ability to appropriately monitor, evaluate and modify physical activity interventions, notably for people across the AEP cardiovascular, metabolic, respiratory/pulmonary and kidney domains.
- LO5. Deliver and manage safe and effective exercise interventions incorporating behaviour change principles and techniques to improve physical activity compliance. This includes consideration of client goals, clinical status, history and other influencing factors for wellness and health. Notably, for people across the AEP cardiovascular, metabolic, respiratory/pulmonary and kidney domains.
