Exercise physiology
Why study Exercise physiology?
Exercise physiology is the assessment of healthy people and those with, or at risk of developing, chronic illness or injuries. It is the development of safe and effective exercise interventions to these people to enhance their health and well being.
This course aims to provide students with the skills and knowledge to design and implement exercise programs for a range of populations, from healthy to chronically ill. Students learn to apply this knowledge to clinical situations, and undertake supervised clinical practice to consolidate these skills.
Career opportunities
Graduates are eligible to become accredited exercise physiologists, working clinically in hospital or private practice settings, strength and conditioning coaches for professional sports teams, case managers for rehabilitation providers or injury consultants for insurers.
