Bachelor of Health Sciences in Biokinetics

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 1:

• Describe the macroscopic and microscopic structure of each body system.
• Explain the normal function of each of the body's systems.
• Understand system integration and the mechanisms responsible for homeostasis of the human body.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 2:

• Analyse, interpret and apply foundational theories with regard to psychology and sociology in Biokinetics contexts.
• Reflect on the effect of the human psyche on health behaviour, health promotion (wellness), human functioning and performance.
• Apply appropriate motivational and interviewing skills in health care contexts.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 3:

• Analyse and integrate foundational theories in physics as they apply to human motion and exercise.
• Perform biomechanical analyses of different movement skills to identify possible dysfunctions.
• Assess the kinetics and kinematic variables associated with posture, movement, injuries and general health.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 4:

• Apply an understanding of the effects of different types of exercise on the cardiovascular, pulmonary, neuromuscular, metabolic and endocrine systems to real and simulated cases.
• Demonstrate an understanding of the interrelationship between responses and adaptations to acute and chronic exercise.
• Design appropriate exercise interventions to enhance exercise capacity.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 5:

• Analyse and integrate an understanding of the different components of fitness.
• Design appropriate and scientifically sound physical activities, physical fitness and exercise programmes for individuals and groups.
• Implement appropriate and scientifically founded physical activity/exercise training programmes for different groups/populations.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 6:

• Analyse, integrate and apply knowledge of the pathology and psychology of people with disabilities and of those who suffer from long term conditions.
• Implement appropriate and scientifically based therapeutic recreation programmes for different groups/populations.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 7:

• Apply knowledge and understanding of human growth, development, maturation and aging to a variety of biokinetic contexts.
• Design and implement appropriate and effective rehabilitation and intervention programmes for individuals with functional constraints over the lifespan.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 8:

• Demonstrate understanding of common musculo-skeletal injuries and conditions, including their incidence, symptoms, possible causes, and treatment.
• Conduct comprehensive medical and injury histories of a variety of patients.
• Design, demonstrate and implement evidence-based individualised rehabilitation exercise programmes.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 9:

• Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of health and disease patterns as a result of inactivity.
• Apply an understanding of the benefits of regular exercise and physical activity on health to health promotion contexts.
• Design and implement awareness, screening and education programmes to promote health and wellness in the community.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 10:

• Apply scientific approaches to measurement and evaluation in biokinetic contexts.
• Design, plan, execute and interpret a variety of physical health and exercise physiological assessments.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 11:

• Apply knowledge and understanding of applicable clinical sciences to the pathology of disease and disabilities.
• Plan and implement effective and efficient exercise intervention programmes for various chronic diseases and disabilities.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 12:

• Apply the critical concepts of relevant theories, research methods and techniques to identify and resolve complex real-life problems.
• Communicate research findings to professional colleagues as well as to the general public and communities with compassion and sensitivity.

Integrated Assessment:

• Formative and Summative Assessments will be integrated to provide a coherent indication of the candidates' ability, skill, and experience.
• Assessments will focus on assessing the achievement of the Exit Level Outcomes holistically, in groups rather than individually, through written examinations, practical examinations, project evaluations, and final examinations.
