Study Notes
Learning Outcomes of A/Prof Joanne Glinsky's Lecture
- The lecture focuses on the role of exercise in managing impairments and disabilities
- Students gain understanding of exercise science application in rehabilitation and health promotion
Examples of Impairments Managed with Exercise
- Musculoskeletal impairments (e.g., osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia)
- Cardiovascular impairments (e.g., hypertension, heart failure)
- Neurological impairments (e.g., stroke, Parkinson's disease)
- Cancer management and survivorship
Qualifications and Experience Required for Exercise Science Graduates
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Exercise Science or related field
- Accreditation by relevant professional bodies (e.g., Exercise and Sports Science Australia)
- Experience in rehabilitation settings, fitness industry, or research institutions
Knowledge Gaps Felt by Exercise Science Graduates
- Limited knowledge of business and marketing skills
- Inadequate preparation for working with diverse populations (e.g., pediatrics, geriatrics)
- Desire for more training in research design and methodology
