Description for 2023/24

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.

Aims
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.

discuss the impact of ageing on particular conditions;: 1
analyse similarities and differences in data results between different testing modes;: 1
distinguish between physiological responses to activity as a result of a pharmacological intervention.: 1

Study hours

30 tutor led hours which include synchronous lectures, workshops, seminars, tutorials
~five hours of assessment preparation classes etc.
115 hours of independent study.
~90 hours self-directed study;
~15 hours directed self-study;
~10 hours of assessment preparation.

School Rules

Successful completion of a minimum of 105 credits of the BSc (Hons) Rehabilitation Science at Level 4, normally at Keele University.

Description of Module Assessment

1: Workbook weighted 100%
Completion of a workbook containing sample data of typical case scenarios
Students will complete a workbook during the module. The workbook will contain sample physiological data of typical case scenarios with underlying pathologies from three different specialist populations (of which student will analysis 2 sets). Students will analyse the data in order to identify how the results may be different from those without the underpinning pathology. In addition students will discuss the impact of ageing on individuals with particular conditions. While compiling an exercise programme for 1one individualised patient from any of the subgroups. Word count 2500 (2 x 1000 for case studies; 500 words for exercise plan)

Please note that for the 2022/23 Academic Year programmes may be adapted to operate in accordance with a flexible, digital approach. This means that there may be some changes made to how modules are delivered and assessed. The latest information will be provided to you by your School in module handbooks. We endeavour to give you as much notice as possible of any changes and details about the circumstance in which changes are made to programmes can be found in the Student Agreement, available at: https://www.keele.ac.uk/student-terms-and-conditions/
