Introduction

The role of physiotherapists in physical activity extends beyond exercise prescription during rehabilitation. It encompasses promoting physical activity with all the patients you encounter as well as within your community at large. During this course you will come to understand considerations for exercise prescription, consider adherence by looking at barriers to exercise and how we might motivate people to be more physically active, explore how to measure and quantify physical activity and learn how to integrate physical activity into clinical practice and encourage physical activity in larger populations at a community level. Lastly, you will explore physical activity leadership and consider how we can all become physical activity leaders.

Aims

The aim of this course is to introduce the different aspects of promoting physical activity in the clinic and the community.

This topic is fantastic! All the elements are exciting, practical and valuable for me. Strategies to Promote Physical Activity In the Community Physical Activity and the Multidisciplinary Team and General Principles of Effective Physical Activity Promotion Interventions are very effective for my clinic and community practice. It is a practical approach to promoting behaviour change in individuals and groups. Thank you so much!
