CSU’s Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology (Rehabilitation) is Australia’s only distance education course in Exercise Physiology that is accredited by Exercise and Sport Science Australia (ESSA).

Why study this course?

Chronic illness is the single greatest challenge facing health care in Australia. Recent data from Australian Institute of Health and Welfare indicates that chronic illness currently contributes to 70% of the health burden in Australia and this is expected to rise to 80% by 2020.

Accredited exercise physiologists play a critical role enhancing the health of the nation by specialising in the delivery of preventative exercise programs and/or exercise interventions for the management of chronic and complex conditions and/or injuries.

CSU’s Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology (Rehabilitation) develops the knowledge, skills and core competencies you require to work as an accredited exercise physiologist in a variety of settings. The course prepares students to conduct client consultations to determine medical and physical activity histories, perform pre-exercise screenings, use motivational interviewing to determine readiness for exercise and perform health and fitness assessments. Students will also be prepared to design and deliver evidence-based exercise prescriptions, apply psychological strategies to promote lifestyle modification and behaviour change, and provide client education to prevent or manage targeted cardiopulmonary, metabolic, musculoskeletal, and neurological conditions as well as cancer and depression.

The course also includes up to 500 hours of supervised clinical placement, which provides students with the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills in exercise physiology in real clinical settings whilst being supported by experienced health professionals.
