Program Overview
Do you want to develop expert knowledge in the science of exercise assessment and prescription? Come and study with us and develop your scientific and applied knowledge.
The evidence demonstrating that physical activity reduces the risk of developing chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, obesity and type 2 diabetes highlights the need for clinical exercise practitioners with high level knowledge of physical activity and health who can work within community and healthcare settings.
This programme offers a well-balanced blend between practice and theory. The course is multi-disciplinary in nature covering aspects of exercise physiology, exercise and health psychology, biomechanical principles as well as clinical skills.
People often ask us, what does a Clinical Exercise Scientist do? A Clinical Exercise Scientist/Specialist/Physiologist supports people who:are recovering from injury, or perhaps have a prior injury they do not want to exacerbate but would like to become fitter and healthier.
have a chronic health condition (such as cancer, diabetes, stroke low mood, depression and anxiety, hypertension, high cholesterol, asthma, obesity, osteoporosis, etc) for which exercise would be beneficial.
have goals around losing or maintaining a healthy weight
are looking for a tailored and prescribed exercise programme to meet health and wellness needs.
Here's what Natasha Bowman, a recent graduate, has to say:
"This course provided me with many transferable skills, firstly learning and developing a knowledge around different clinical conditions like type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s and cancer, and allowed me to understand customers' conditions and how it affected them on a daily basis. This information is then used to help me provide them with the right support.
"The course also enhanced my ability to provide a more empathetic approach in my interactions. This allowed me to connect better with my customers; it promoted customer rapport and their confidence to become more independent, because they felt they could trust in me to help them."
