Subject outline
In this subject you will develop professional practice as an exercise physiologist by using research to inform clinical reasoning. This subject aims to develop your research skills and apply discipline-specific knowledge and techniques to address an exercise physiology-related question. Individually, or as part of a small group, you will work on a research project that will include: planning, project management, data collection, data analysis, critical interpretation/evaluation and dissemination of findings.
