INTRODUCTION Welcome to the BSc (Med)(Hons) in Exercise Science (Biokinetics), degree, Course Code HUB4043W, at the University of Cape Town (UCT). We hope that you will enjoy the course and that it will be the basis of a successful and fulfilling career. This brochure describes the history of the courses and explains how they will be organised in 2016. The Biokinetics honours degree has been evaluated and adapted to include more practical and clinical work. In most institutions, including our own, a multidisciplinary approach is used to acquire an integrated understanding of the effects of physical activity on the body. BACKGROUND TO THE COURSE In 1981, Professor Tim Noakes was appointed by UCT to establish an honours course in Sports Science for scientists, physical educators, physiotherapists and doctors. The purpose of the course was to satisfy the South African demand for a more scientific approach to the maintenance of good health and success in sport. In 1991 the original honours course was divided into Exercise Science and Biokinetics. As the field evolved specialist Sports Medicine and Sports Physiotherapy MPhil courses started in 1990 and 1995 respectively, with the aim of providing physicians and physiotherapists with a more evidenced-based approach to their respective fields. The Biokinetics course was not offered in 2009 to enable the course material to be restructured and aligned with the demands of the rapidly developing Biokinetics profession. The revised course was launched in 2010. In addition, a new MPhil course in Biokinetics began in 2011. During 2009 and 2010 the Exercise Science honours course merged with the Faculty of Health Sciences honours programme. However, in 2011 the course reverted back to being based at the Sports Science Institute, Newlands. The Exercise Science and Biokinetics courses are now distinct with clearly defined learning objectives and outcomes. There are however certain aspects which are common to both courses. This material will be presented in the Basic Sciences core modules at the beginning of the year and in combined lectures throughout the year. Both honours courses are one year full-time courses while the Sports Physiotherapy, Sports Medicine and Biokinetics MPhil courses are part-time courses which take about three years to complete. Since the inception of ESSM in 1981, 670 students have been trained (DSc = 1, MD = 3, PhD = 79, MPhil (Sports Med) = 35, MPhil (physiotherapy) = 25, MPhil (Biokinetics) = 9, MSc = 68, Exercise Science honours = 268, Biokinetics = 182.

DIVISION OF EXERCISE SCIENCE AND SPORTS MEDICINE (ESSM)

Professor Noakes began his exercise research in a small laboratory in the basement of the former Department of Physiology within the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Cape Town, with one laboratory assistant and a single bicycle. By 1989, the research had grown to such an extent that the Medical Research Council (MRC) and UCT agreed to fund a MRC/UCT Bioenergetics of Exercise Research Unit (BERU). In August 1995 the Unit moved into the Sports Science Institute of South Africa (SSISA) in Newlands and in 2000 changed its name to the UCT/MRC Research Unit for Exercise Science and Sports Medicine (ESSM). With Professor Noakes’ retirement at the end of 2014 the MRC funding came to an end and the research unit

3

became the Division of Exercise Science and Sports Medicine in the Department of Human Biology, Faculty of Health Sciences.

ESSM’s Vision is; “An active, healthy and winning nation through science”. The mission statement of ESSM is; A center of excellence for promoting a healthy, active lifestyle and optimal physical performance, through research, innovation, teaching, training, and clinical services. The research aim of ESSM is to develop a novel understanding of integrated human function during exercise and to use this knowledge:

to promote health and well-being

to treat and prevent specific chronic diseases

to treat and prevent injuries and medical conditions associated with sport and exercise

to optimize exercise performance The various research projects in ESSM fall within one of the following research groups;

Health and well-being

Exercise in the management of chronic diseases

Injuries and medical conditions associated with sport and exercise

Exercise performance At any given time, there are at least 80 research projects underway. Funding for the research is derived from UCT, the MRC, the National Research Foundation (NRF), the Training Human Resources Industry Programme (THRIP) and contract research for various companies. ESSM uses four exercise laboratories, two clinical laboratories, three molecular biology/biochemistry laboratories, a biomechanics laboratory, an environmental chamber, and a metabolic chamber to conduct its research.

SPORTS SCIENCE INSTITUTE OF SOUTH AFRICA (SSISA) SSISA was built as a Section 21 (not for gain) company called Sports Science Share Block (Pty) Ltd, with funds donated to UCT in 1994. SSISA’s mission is to “optimise the sporting performance and health of all South Africans through the execution, application and dissemination of science”. Members of ESSM are involved in many of the programmes and services provided by SSISA. More information about SSISA can be obtained from www.ssisa.com.

OUTLINE OF THE BIOKINETICS HONOURS PROGRAMME (HUB4043W) The Biokinetics Honours Programme is divided into three major components:

Course Work

Clinical Work

Research Project & Thesis

4

Course work consists of the following modules:-

1. Health Promotion and Special Populations (HP) 2. Exercise Physiology (EP) 3. Rehabilitation in Chronic Diseases (CD) 4. Neuromuscular and Skeletal Systems Training (NEMS) 5. Orthopaedic Rehabilitation (ORTHO) 6. Research Methods and Biostatics (RESE)

The Health Promotion & Special Populations Module and Exercise Physiology Module will run during the first term. The Chronic Diseases Module and Neuromuscular and Skeletal Systems Module will run during the second term. The Orthopaedic Rehabilition Module, Research Methods & Biostatistics Module will run during Term 1-3. The Orthopaedic Rehabilitation Module forms part of the Clinical Work Module, knowledge and experience gained from this Module will mostly be evaluated during Clinical Examinations. The structure of these modules vary, but each one has a theory, practical / assessment and applied component. Evaluation of the modules includes lab-based practicals and / or assignments and a written test. Written tests will be conducted on four separate occasions during the first semester, before the June examination. The Exercise Physiology (Fundamentals) test will cover all content of the Fundamentals (first two weeks) of the Exercise Physiology module. The second test will be during the last week of the first term: Heatlh Promotion Module. During the last week of term 2, the Chronic Diseases and NEMS module tests will be written just before the June examination. Lab-based practicals and assignments will mostly consist of administrating exercise testing/physical assessments and exercise prescription. The focus of the second semester is to gain more clinical experience and to conduct research. The aim of this component of the course is to integrate the theory and practical teaching from the first semester to the clinical and research setting.

5

1. Lectures The modules will be taught with varying combinations of self-learning sessions, lectures, practical’s, assignments and/or tutorials. Clinical rotations will also be scheduled in the timetable, however this represents the MINIMUM amount of time students should spend in the various programmes which forms part of their rotations. A macro overview of a typical week during this period (January to August) is shown below:

2. VULA and Google Calendar On occasion, notes and/or reading material will be loaded onto the VULA site prior or after lectures, tutorials or practicals. Students are responsible for printing notes and reading material. However, access to lecture notes is up to the discretion of the lecturer, and lecture notes may only be available on VULA after the lecture. Lecturers have the right to not make their lecture slides available to students.

7

Each student will receive an email inviting them to access the ESSM google calendar. Lecture schedules will be maintained on this electronic calendar. Students are responsible for ensuring that they are up to date with all lectures, tutorials, practical sessions and exam dates. Lecture times might change occasionally, and this is largely due to travel demands of staff.

3. Clinical Work

The clinical component of the course consists of:

i. Clinical Examinations ii. Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) and

iii. Clinical Rotations (including a patient portfolio)

In keeping with the HPCSA’s requirements for the training of Student Biokineticists, the Biokinetics honours course comprises 3 designated 5-hour blocks per week during which students are given the opportunity to gain hands on experience while being supervised by registered Biokineticists in real world clinical settings. Here, Biokinetic students are expected to apply the theoretical underpinnings of the controlled use of physical activity in the prevention of disease and as the primary therapeutic modality during final phase rehabilitation (provided during in the form of lectures and workshops). To encourage peer-assisted learning, students will rotate in pairs, spending approximately 4 weeks in each rotation. Given that there are 8 clinical rotations, students will perform 8 x 4-week rotations during the course of 2016.

11 rotation venues will be available to students during the year (as some practices are busier than others, certain rotations will include 2 venues from which students may schedule sessions with their supervisors according to existing patient bookings). The designated practices for clinical rotations with their respective clinical supervisors are as follows:

1. Lander and Pursad, Biokineticists – Angie Lander and Avinesh Pursad 2. SSISA Fitness Centre – Shoneé Cornelissen and Lyle Barreiro 3. Sports & Exercise Medicine Practice – Fallon Hope 4. High performance centre – Niel Michau and Justin Durandt 5. WoW project – Vicki Lambert and CHIPS – Jill Benting and Juandré Davids 6. Victoria Hospital – Nasief van der Schyff 7. Sports Medicine Clinic Constantiaberg Mediclinic – Simone White

8

8. SSISA Healthy Weight Programme – Claudia Gravenhorst 9. Old Mutual Fitness Centre – Marius Cornelissen

10. Kim Murphy Biokineticists – Kim Murphy 11. Grucox Medical Practice – Jacqueline Kotze

During each rotation, students will be accountable to the abovementioned mentoring supervisors with whom they are expected to schedule and to spend no less than 15 hours per week in clinical work with patients during the rotation. Should the student be unable to make a clinical rotation due to personal circumstances (illness or family emergency), this must be conveyed to the supervisor prior to the day, and clinical work hours must be made up at some other time. Importantly, students will be required to keep a detailed record of the sessions they attend in a patient portfolio. Each rotation session (including group-based classes) must be documented as this portfolio will be used to assess students during their Clinical Examinations and OSCEs, and will furthermore be evaluated at the end of the year. Students are encouraged to neatly structure a table of contents for their patient folder, type up all contact hours, and to consider that the more comprehensive the cases, and the more cases presented in the portfolio, the better the impression of the student’s clinical experience. Finally, two forms per student are required to be handed in within 1 week of each rotation’s completion:

a. Student log sheet b. Clinical supervisor’s evaluation

The student log sheet is signed off by the rotation supervisor or supervising biokineticist/intern at the end of each session, and may only be completed by a clinician who directly supervises a student (i.e. not by a practice secretary or an individual who did not directly mentor a student while seeing a patient).

4. Research project The assessment for the project reflects the student’s ability, in consultation with their supervisors, to plan and propose a project and research methodology; to collect data with excellent quality control; to manage and analyse the results, and interpret the results of this research study in an evidence-based manner. The students’ projects will be selected from a list of available projects that will be handed out within the first several weeks of the course. Projects will be selected on the basis of suitability, and where possible, by choice. In most cases, honours projects form smaller sub-projects under a larger, post-graduate or funded study. Project “teams” will be formed consisting of staff, and senior students, who will be working with honours students on these projects. The supervisor will guide the student through the process of preparing a literature review and project proposal. The proposal will then be presented to the Unit for critical input. The data collection phase of the project should ideally be completed by the middle of September. The completed project should be handed in on the 4th November. The research project will be evaluated as a written report and also in an oral presentation (16th November). All the skills

9

required to conduct a successful research project will be presented in the Research Methods and Statistics module described above.

5. Contributions to the final Mark Final exams will consist of an oral exam (2nd June) and two 3-hour written papers. Paper 1 (31st May) will contain questions which are designed to integrate the knowledge of all the work during the year. Paper 2 (29th September) will test the student’s ability to critically analyse a scientific paper. The final Biokinetics Clinical Exam will take place over 2 days (11th and 12th Oct). Assessment of the work of Modules and Biokinetics Clinical Assessment, exams and the research project will each constitute 25%, 15%, 25% and 35% of the final year mark, respectively. Details of how these marks are derived are shown below: Details of the exams and their percent contributions to the final year mark are shown in the following table:

Module 1: Health Promotion and Special Populations Module

Required Text Book for this module:

American College of Sports Medicine Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription, 9th edition, B.A. Franklin (editor), Lippincott Williams and Wilkins

Overview of Module: This module introduces Biokinetics students to working with disease free population groups. Students will gain an understanding of exercise screening, testing and prescription for apparently healthy individuals and special populations. In addition, students will have theory and practical lessons in theories of behaviour change and motivational interviewing. Module Objectives The specific objectives of this module are;

To gain an understanding of various models and theories of behaviour change applied in assisting individuals in changing lifestyle behaviour; the use of “social marketing” and stages of change model and the concept of “readiness”; physical activity and health messaging to the public, and to the individual. The Biokineticist will understand the importance of these factors for uptake of, and adherence to a physically active lifestyle.

To gain an understanding of the effect of exercise in preventing disease and reducing the burden of disease; to understand exercise dose-response in relation to disease;

To be able to prescribe an exercise programme on the basis of screening procedures, demographic information, and other information gleaned from the patient/client;

To gain expertise in conducting and interpreting sub maximal fitness tests for individuals undergoing health risk screening, according to the ACSM guidelines;

To gain a theoretical and practical understanding of the fundamentals and application of hydrotherapy exercise as a training tool in the rehabilitation process and also to apply to special populations.

To introduce Biokinetics students to the concept of independent clinical reasoning, in that one cannot always follow a textbook approach to clinical diagnosis and treatment.

To gain a clinical and practical knowledge of limitations and benefits of exercise for pregnant ladies, children and older adults; to gain practical experience in prescribing exercise for these patients;

To gain a theoretical and practical understanding of the role of exercise testing and rehabilitation and the long-term management of physically disabled patients.

To gain knowledge about the outreach, promotion and development of health awareness and physical activity programmes in rural and disadvantaged communities;

Module Evaluation

All of the work in this module will form part of the clinical exams.

In addition, students will complete one mini small-group assignment.

Module 6: Research Methodology: Design and Ethics / Introduction to Biostatistics (RESE)

Module convenor: Professor Mike Lambert

The overall aims of this module are several-fold. Firstly, we are aiming to create a research “culture” within the group of postgraduate students. Secondly, students must learn and apply sound principles of research design, as it relates to their own research projects, and in evaluating the work of others when reviewing the scientific literature. Therefore, in conjunction with good research design, students will acquire and apply the skills of “critical appraisal”. This will equip students to use an evidence-based approach to both research and clinical decision-making. In addition, students will acquire data management skills and a working knowledge of introductory biostatistics, so that they can select and apply the appropriate biostatistical techniques to specific research questions and data sets. Finally, students will be mentored in scientific writing, such that they will be able to produce; 1) a well-structured and ethical research proposal, 2) a topical and evidence-based literature review, and 3) scholarly interpretations of data gathered and statistically analysed, in the form of an original manuscript, suitable for peer review. Learning objectives: By the end of this section of the module, students will be able to:

Consider a research question and devise a testable hypothesis and an appropriate research design;

Scan the available scientific literature related to a specific research question or topic, using electronic media, in a systematic way;

Critically appraise existing evidence in a systematic way;

Develop a well-structured and ethical research proposal;

Produce an evidence-based review of the literature related to their specific research question, suitable for publication;

Acquire and apply the basic skills for acquiring data, cleaning data, and organizing data;

Apply the basic biostatistical methods required to answer the specific research questions related to their research projects;

Interpret data which have been gathered and analyzed and produce a scholarly manuscript/s.

Assessment and evaluation: Research proposal and protocol development: While it is the primary responsibility of the project supervisors to apply for and secure ethical approval from the Human Research Ethics Committee, Faculty of Health Sciences, each student will be expected to prepare a research proposal for their project, independently. This proposal will follow the format that would be used, if it were to be submitted to the Research Ethics Committee. This will count final 10% toward the final module mark. This is due for handing in on the 11th April or anytime before.

25

The students will also be expected to prepare a 10 min PowerPoint or slide presentation detailing their protocol (intro, research question or hypothesis, subjects, methods, analytical strategy, implications, ethical considerations) which will count 5% toward their final module mark. This will be presented on the 11th and 18th March, or 8th April during the usual Friday research meeting. Class assignments: There will be 3 class assignments to be completed as part of the Biostatistics component of the module. These will each comprise 5% of the final module mark, and will be due one week after the lecture. Open book, final class test: There will be an open-book, final class test for the RESE module, which will cover aspects of research design, biostatistical principals, and interpretation of results. This is scheduled for the 16th September and will count 20% toward the final module mark. Literature review: Each student will be expected to prepare a STAND-ALONE manuscript that is suitable for publication as a review article, on a topic related to their research project. The literature review should be formatted in a pre-selected journal format, and will be evaluated on the extent to which it would be suitable for publication as submitted. This literature review will comprise 40% of the final module mark, and will be evaluated by at least 2 independent markers. It is due to be handed in on the 18th September. The evaluation is comprised of:

Component % of final module mark

Protocol presentation oral 5% Project proposal written 10% Class assignments x 3 15% (5% x 3) Open Book Class test 30% Literature review 40%

The final product of this process will be an honours research project, which is assessed separately. This is discussed in section 4.
