This course explores the application of exercise science principles in designing and implementing safe, effective, and evidence-based exercise interventions for individuals with various clinical conditions, including congenital heart disease, stroke, spinal cord injury, and multiple sclerosis. Students will examine the physiological effects of exercise on different diseases and conditions, the unique needs of clinical populations, and the role of exercise in rehabilitation and health-care settings.

Through case-based learning sessions, small and large group discussions, presentations, written assignments, and laboratory work, students will gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary to develop and apply evidence-based exercise prescriptions in clinical practice. Emphasis will be placed on the integration of critical thinking, peer feedback, and evidence-based decision-making in clinical settings.

Additionally, students will develop and apply communication and physical skills relevant to exercise programming, ensuring they are prepared to assess, prescribe, and adapt exercise interventions to meet the diverse needs of individuals in health care and rehabilitation environments.
