Paediatric Exercise Rehabilitation - Fundamental movement skills to specialised prescription.

In 2016 this event will be held in Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane.

This course aims to extend participants understanding of paediatric exercise rehabilitation from the development and training of fundamental movement skills and motor proficiency, to paediatric assessments and clinical exercise delivery.

In addition to a series of online lectures, the face-to-face workshops will contain practical components including paediatric assessments focused on standardised movement assessments, and physiological assessments for children and adolescents. The design and implementation of training programs for FMS and fitness in paediatrics will be highlighted, providing attendees with practical strategies and tools to use in both typically developing and clinical populations.

Focusing on clinical populations there will be theoretical, practical and key considerations for an exercise physiologist or movement therapist working with children and adolescents across a range of clinical groups.  Pathologies and impairments discussed include obesity and metabolic syndrome, cancer, neurological, musculoskeletal and neurodevelopment conditions (i.e. ADHD, DCD, Autism spectrum disorders).

Participants will be required to demonstrate the selection of appropriate assessment techniques, interpretation of results and implementation of exercise programs across a variety of cases and conditions.
