Aims
This module aims to engage students in key physical activity, sedentary behaviour and health intervention concepts for people with long term medical conditions. It will explore current evidence and practice related to promoting physical activity and reducing sedentary time, across a range of settings/environments and the effectiveness of physical activity as a non-pharmacological management strategy. The focus moves from interventions in specific populations and settings through to intervention design and implementation.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Examine the prevalence of long-term conditions and consider how protected characteristics, and intersections thereof, could contribute to disease manifestation.
2.
Evaluate the evidence base for physical activity principles to prevent, treat and manage long-term medical conditions (to improving function, facilitate recovery, maximise independence and/or participation).
3.
Discuss the practical and ethical issues associated with promoting physical activity and reducing sedentary time in people with long term medical conditions.
4.
Critically analyse the effectiveness of physical activity, sedentary behaviour and health interventions and make recommendations accordingly.
Module Content

Physical activity for people living with long-term conditions.
Effective communication (with health care professionals, lay audiences and clinical groups).
Physiological benefits of PA in cancer, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic disease.
Motivational strategies to enhance adherence to PA prescription.
