Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Associate's Degree)

  • Individualized exercise programs — design and implement for low- to moderate-risk participants with limited oversight, aligning with exercise science standards in an outpatient clinical setting.
  • Treadmill, ergometer, and exercise bicycle protocols — prescribe and adjust for participants based on fitness assessment data in a cardiac or pulmonary rehabilitation program.
  • Participant progress data — interpret using spreadsheet and medical software tools to evaluate program effectiveness and recommend routine adjustments in a hospital wellness department.
  • Emergency response procedures — execute independently, including appropriate first-aid and activation of emergency protocols, when participants show signs of physical distress during exercise sessions.
  • Exercise physiology testing procedures — explain and administer to participants across a range of fitness levels, ensuring informed consent and procedural clarity in a clinical outpatient environment.
  • Lifestyle physical activity strategies — recommend and tailor to individual participant needs and barriers during routine counseling sessions in a community health or corporate wellness setting.
  • Clinical oversight of exercise sessions — provide for participants at varied risk levels, monitoring physiological responses and adjusting workloads within established protocols in a supervised facility.
  • Participant education materials — develop and deliver using presentation and word processing software to reinforce exercise adherence in a structured wellness or rehabilitation program.
  • Deductive and inductive reasoning — apply when analyzing participant assessment results to identify patterns and modify exercise prescriptions in a clinical fitness environment.
  • Interdisciplinary care team communications — coordinate with physicians, physical therapists, and dietitians through written and verbal channels to support integrated participant care in a healthcare setting.
