Description
In this subject, students explore and examine the aetiology of lifestyle-related diseases, health behaviour models and theories, and sociocultural and psychological health correlates and determinants, with a focus on physical activity. Individual, community, and population level interventions are assessed, planned and evaluated to promote health and physical activity across the lifespan (e.g., youth, older adults), amongst different populations (e.g. Indigenous Australians and culturally and linguistically diverse peoples) and in a variety of settings (e.g. school-based, workplace, community). Physical activity is thus viewed in this subject as a valuable resource for improving and maintaining physical, mental, and social well-being and greater quality of life.
