EHR522 Exercise for Metabolic & Renal Conditions (8)
Abstract|
In this subject students will investigate anatomical and physiological mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology of metabolic conditions, such as insulin resistance, gestational diabetes, type I diabetes, and type II diabetes mellitus, further to renal conditions and their associated integrated systemic effects. Students will examine pharmacological interventions from authentic client data provided by referring primary health-care providers and integrate this with exercise related information obtained through initial consultation to undertake client needs analysis. This information will be evaluated and applied to effectively pre-screen and stratify client risk, formulate safe and effective exercise prescriptions, and evaluate client health outcomes. A Residential School will provide students with an opportunity to develop practical skills where a practice-based education framework will be used in preparation for professional roles. Ultimately, this subject will increase student knowledge and skill application of metabolic and/or renal conditions to a level of that aligned and required within clinical exercise practice. |

Learning OutcomesUpon successful completion of this subject, students should:
- be able to synthesise pertinent evidence-based literature related to underlying pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the initiation, development and progression, and treatment of metabolic and/or renal disorders;
- be able to critique and rationalise screening tools related to medical and health-history information during initial consultation with clients possessing actual, or risk factors for, metabolic and/or renal pathophysiologies;
- be able to describe and evaluate pertinent pathophysiological data when assessing metabolic and/or renal client needs for exercise;
- be able to develop and apply safe exercise test procedures for clients with metabolic and/or renal disorders that demonstrate efficiency and validity;
- be able to communicate professionally and interact empathetically and respectfully with clients possessing metabolic and/or renal conditions.

Residential School| This subject contains a compulsory 3 day residential school.
Distance Education students are required to attend a three (3) day COMPULSORY Residential School scheduled during the Residential School period. This Residential School is necessary in order to develop practical skills to comply with accreditation requirements.

|
Specialised Resources|
Distance Education students are required to attend a Residential School scheduled during the Residential School period to access laboratory facilities. This will require students to arrange and finance their own travel and accommodation.
