Description for 2024/25

This module forms part of the BSc (Hons) Rehabilitation Science programme at Keele University, an innovative, integrated programme which prepares the graduate for further study or employment in a health and social care setting.
This module will equip students with a knowledge underpinning exercise science principles which will enable students to put disability and physical functioning into context. This module will also contain a strong emphasis on identification of abnormal responses to physical activity testing and interpretation of tests results. This will enable students to develop and build upon the attributes of logical thinking and analysis of complex information.

To equip students with theoretical and practical knowledge regarding principles of exercise science in relation to specialist populations.
To enable students to relate exercise principles to functional assessment to promote independence and exercise prescription in the context of disability and common global conditions.
