Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology
Griffith University - Gold Coast
Overview Admissions Criteria Student Profile Career Possibilities
Course outline

Exercise is increasingly understood by the health profession as a form of medicine. The people responsible for administering this medicine are exercise scientists and exercise physiologists, and this degree allows students to become accredited as both. You will be provided with a deep knowledge of the human body and how it is affected by exercise and learn how to design and deliver safe and effective exercise interventions for clients with chronic and complex medical conditions. In addition to the foundational coursework of this degree, students will complete a minimum of 360 hours of supervised clinical placement in exercise physiology enabling students to put theory into practice. Graduates secure the skills required to competently assess, design and deliver exercise programs to improve health and performance, prevent chronic conditions, and treat or manage clinical conditions with a strong focus on achieving behavioural change.
