Questions and Answers

What are the learning outcomes of A/Prof Joanne Glinsky's lecture?

Describe the structure of skeletal muscle fiber and its relationship to function. 2. Explain factors contributing to force production during muscle contraction. 3. Explain the different types of muscular contractions (concentric, eccentric and static). 4. Apply basic biomechanics principles to measurement of weakness and exercise prescription.

What are some examples of impairments managed with exercise?

Lack of strength (weakness). 2. Lack of muscle endurance. 3. Loss of passive range of motion. 4. Joint or muscle length. 5. Lack of co-ordination. 6. Lack of cardiorespiratory fitness.

What are the qualifications/experience required for a person with an exercise science degree?

Lots of different experience. Exercise science degree or similar. Worked providing exercise to clients (able-bodied). Worked providing exercise to 'patients'. Less than 5 visits to a gym.

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
