Physical activity in the prevention and treatment of disease

On completion of the course, students will be able to:

1. account for central adaptations in organs and tissues that result from regular physical activity, as well as for known connections between physical activity and health for a specific group

2. independently construct a question, conduct a structured literature search, critically review scientific literature and report and defend this in writing and orally

3. carry out simpler data collection of physical activity level and physical performance and be able to account for, compare and critically discuss the applicability of different methods in research and clinic as well as their validity and reliability

4. based on scientific evidence, account for how physical activity can be designed as a means for prevention and treatment of disease and/or disability and based on desired biopsychosocial adaptations

5. reflect on the role that physiotherapy and physical activity can have in achieving national and global goals in public health and sustainable development

6. with the support of relevant theoretical knowledge, identify obstacles and facilitating factors for the implementation of new working methods in clinical practice and present and motivate applicable models for implementation in an intended project.
