Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology (Honours)

Adelaide University

Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 04249J

Use your passion for exercise to enhance quality of life for people managing chronic conditions, disabilities and injuries in our Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology (Honours). Through a blend of theory, practical experiences and clinical placements you'll discover how clinical exercise management can be used to prevent disease onset and treat a range of diverse health conditions. Explore the major systems of the human body - including skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular and respiratory systems - and how the function and structure of these change over time and with chronic health conditions. Examine the role proper nutrition plays in enhancing client outcomes. Learn how to apply human movement and biomechanical principles to understand client performance and prevent injury. Gain experience in using a variety of clinical tools to assess client function, strength, cardiovascular and respiratory fitness. But it's not all theory - you'll put your learning into practice in real-world settings. Complete up to 500 hours of clinical placements in some of South Australia's best clinical exercise facilities and work with clients in one of our three, on-campus exercise physiology clinics.
