<p>This unit advances students’ competencies in exercise assessment, prescription, and delivery through the application of evidence-based practice across a variety of exercise and health contexts. Students will refine their skills in exercise testing, program design, and professional delivery while developing the ability to modify exercise interventions to meet individual participant goals, capabilities, and needs, using a range of exercise modalities.</p>
