The Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology at UNE is a multidisciplinary program that develops a comprehensive understanding of the scientific and applied aspects of sport, exercise and health. The course includes core studies in human structure, function and behaviour before further study on the acute and chronic physiological and psychological responses to exercise in healthy individuals and those with chronic and complex health conditions. In the first three years of study, analytical, technical and professional skills are developed in the areas of movement analysis, health and fitness assessment and exercise training for health and performance. The final year of study provides advanced training in chronic disease management, functional conditioning and clinical practice. Students complete 500 hours of workplace experience to practice exercise-based management of neurological, musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary, metabolic and other health conditions. Graduates are recognised for their expertise in the clinical application of exercise-based rehabilitation.

To attain Exercise Physiology accreditation with Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA), students must complete 500 hours of clinical practicum experience which must be structured in the following manner:

a) a minimum of 140 hours in exercise service delivery for the apparently healthy;

b) a minimum of 140 clinical hours of neurological/neuromuscular or musculoskeletal practicum;

c) a minimum of 140 clinical hours of cardiorespiratory or metabolic practicum.

Any remaining hours may be completed as health related activities:

a) provision of exercise delivery for pathologies related to cancers, mental health, renal, or other pathologies;

b) provision of further exercise delivery for neurological/neuromuscular/musculoskeletal/cardiopulmonary and metabolic and pathologies;

c) diagnostic investigations or procedures (eg. cardiac, pulmonary or other clinical investigations or procedures);

d) Health Checks (eg. point of care testing);

e) case management;

f) health promotion, health education or workplace health programs;

g) other related activities as outlined in the AEP evidence-based criteria.

The activities approved under the 'health related activities' may occur in isolation, that is, without a related exercise intervention.

These hours are to be completed under the supervision of:

a) an accredited exercise physiologist;

b) a university-trained allied health professional (eg registered physiotherapist). However, for those components of clinical practice that involve exercise prescription, at least some of the clinical supervision must be conducted by an AEP;

c) an exercise professional with, or capable of attaining, full membership of ESSA (ie exercise scientist). However, for those components of clinical practice that involve exercise prescription, at least some of the clinical supervision must be conducted by an AEP.

The clinical placement officer will assist students in identifying suitable practicum sites/supervisors, and facilitate the practicum placement process. It is the student's responsibility to approach practicum sites/supervisors and arrange the terms of their placement under the guidance of the clinical placement officer. International placements can be proposed for consideration.
