In this course you will develop an understanding of muscle function, motor learning and fatigue and how the brain and spinal cord control movement. The course will reinforce the relationship between integrative neuromotor function, movement physiology and cellular and molecular physiology.

You will also examine theories of motor learning and their application to optimising skill acquisition, including aspects of exercise instruction and approaches to movement education. You will develop practical skills in teaching exercises, work tasks or activities of daily living, with consideration to pedagogical theory in relation to instructing clients and patients regarding movement and exercise.
