Learning outcomes

Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:

explore the pathophysiology of common disease states

describe the mechanisms of exercise in the prevention and management of common conditions

explore current advances in the role of exercise in the treatment and management of common chronic disease conditions
