| Brief description of the Unit |
This unit advances students’ competencies in exercise assessment, prescription, and delivery through the application of evidence-based practice across a variety of exercise and health contexts. Students will refine their skills in exercise testing, program design, and professional delivery while developing the ability to modify exercise interventions to meet individual participant goals, capabilities, and needs, using a range of exercise modalities. |

| Unit Content: |
This unit will focus on concepts such as: - Biomechanics and physics of exercise prescription
- Functional Movement Screening
- Risk stratification, pre-screening and testing principles for diverse populations
- Exercise testing, prescription and delivery for diverse populations
- Exercise delivery using a variety of modalities
- Principles of neuro-musculoskeletal mechanics, range of motion, flexibility and cardiovascular fitness

| Graduate Attributes: |
| Federation University recognises that students require key transferable employability skills to prepare them for their future workplace and society. FEDTASKS (Transferable Attributes Skills and Knowledge) provide a targeted focus on five key transferable Attributes, Skills, and Knowledge that are be embedded within curriculum, developed gradually towards successful measures and interlinked with cross-discipline and Co-operative Learning opportunities. One or more FEDTASK, transferable Attributes, Skills or Knowledge must be evident in the specified learning outcomes and assessment for each FedUni Unit, and all must be directly assessed in each Course.
