After completing this course, students will gain an understanding of age-related changes, normal and abnormal physiological responses to exercise, the benefits and risks of exercise, the pathophysiology, risk factors, and impact of age-specific conditions, exercise prescription and considerations for older adults with these specific age-related conditions, and available community evidence-based exercise programming.
