This PDA provides learners with the knowledge and skills to apply exercise prescription to people with long-term health conditions (LTHCs), or those at a high or higher risk of developing an LTHC, as well as to people with co-morbidities and multi-morbidity. Through research and application, learners develop knowledge and understanding of the epidemiology, aetiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology associated with LTHCs. They examine the UK national and local health landscape and pathways to provision of local physical activity services, before researching the latest evidence-based practice that supports sustained behaviour change. Learners work with a range of clients to apply pre-service delivery screening and assessment. They interpret functional and clinical assessments before planning, delivering and evaluating physical sessions, offering suitable progression routes, education and lifestyle advice.
Throughout the unit, learners examine the scope of practice and industry requirements for exercise practitioners, and the importance of accessing relevant and recognised CPD opportunities.
