Students will apply their foundational knowledge of human and exercise physiology to develop skills in patient/client interactions, exercise assessments, and exercise prescriptions. Topics include communication skills, documentation, health screening and assessments, clinical exercise testing, and exercise prescription for healthy adults and specific patient populations. Through an experiential learning, case-based approach, by the end of this course, students will be able to conduct physical assessments and interpret clinical findings to create patient/client-centered exercise interventions aimed at improving health and well-being.
