XNB388 Exercise in Clinical Populations

This unit develops key clinical knowledge required for exercise physiology practice. It provides an understanding of various diseases, including their epidemiology, aetiology, pathophysiology, clinical course, diagnostic and assessment procedures, and treatments. By identifying the underlying mechanisms that affect movement capacity, the unit aims to develop your knowledge of these disorders so that you can recognise how they affect and respond to movement, exercise, and physical activity.
