INTRODUCTION TO THE HONOURS PROGRAMME

Welcome to the BSc (Med)(Hons) Biokinetics (Course Code HUB4043W) course 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 various courses offered in our unit and explains how the Biokinetics honours course will be structured and coordinated in 2018. 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 Division of Exercise Science and Sports Medicine (ESSM) and our postgraduate degrees

Professor Timothy Noakes began his exercise research in a small basement laboratory within what was formerly the Department of Physiology, with one laboratory assistant and a single bicycle. By 1989, the research had grown to such an extent that the South African Medical Research Council (MRC) and UCT agreed to fund a MRC/UCT Bioenergetics of Exercise Research Unit (BERU). In 1981, Professor Noakes was appointed by UCT to establish an Honours degree 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 Sports Science Honours course was divided into two streams: Exercise Science and Biokinetics. As the field evolved, specialist Sport and Exercise Medicine and Sports Physiotherapy MPhil courses were developed in 1990 and 1995 respectively, with the aim of providing physicians and physiotherapists with a more evidenced-based approach to their respective fields. 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). More recently, a new MPhil course in Biokinetics was established in 2011. Professor Noakes retired at the end of 2014 and the Directorship of the Unit was taken over by Professor Vicki Lambert. At the same time, or Unit became recognised as the Division of Exercise Science and Sports Medicine within the Department of Human Biology, Faculty of Health Sciences. The Honours 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 Exercise Physiology Fundamentals and Technique modules at the beginning of the year, the Research Methodology module, and in combined lectures throughout the year. Both the Exercise Science and Biokinetics Honours courses are one-year full-time courses, while the MPhil courses in Sports Physiotherapy, Sport and Exercise Medicine and Biokinetics are part-time courses, which take about three years to complete. Since the inception of our Division in 1981, 694 students have been trained (DSc=1, MD=3, PhD=87, MPhil(Sport and Exercise Medicine)=37, MPhil(Biokinetics)=13, MSc=70, Exercise Science Honours = 280, Biokinetics Honours =203).

Our Vision

“An active, healthy and winning nation through science”.

Our mission statement “A center of excellence for promoting a healthy, active lifestyle and optimal physical performance, through research, innovation, teaching, training, and clinical services”.

The research focus of ESSM

“Health through physical activity, lifestyle and sport”

The research objectives are: • To conduct research focused on (i) improving health and reducing disease, (ii)

reducing injury and adverse medical conditions associated with physical activity and

sport, and (iii) promoting sports participation.

• To conduct research of the highest international standard, recognising the

interdisciplinary nature of our work as its key strength.

• To recognise the holistic and complex nature of related lifestyle behaviours and co-

morbid conditions, high performance, issues of safety and unintended consequences

of participation in physical activity and sport.

• To ensure that our programme of research is relevant to all South Africans,

addressing issues of social justice and equity, for the development of human capital,

communities and the nation.

• To disseminate knowledge through teaching of an international standard, and

through translation to the wider community, informing policy and practice.

ESSM’s research facilities include three exercise laboratories, two clinical laboratories, five molecular biology / biochemistry laboratories, a biokinetics laboratory, a

5

biomechanics laboratory, an environmental chamber, a metabolic chamber and a sleep laboratory. The 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. Today, SSISA is led by Dr Patho Zondi and their mission is to “optimise the sporting performance and health of all South Africans through the execution, application and dissemination of science”. More information about SSISA can be obtained from www.ssisa.com. Although both ESSM and SSISA have worked together on many projects since 1995, their governance has been different. This is partly due to ESSM being an academic institution and falling under the jurisdiction of the University of Cape Town, whereas SSISA is a not-for profit company. However, in March 2016, ESSM and SSISA have formed a functionally merged entity. This means that legally we are obliged to remain separate, but functionally we act as one organization. This has allowed for greater interaction with one another, and better sharing of knowledge and resources.

2. CLINICAL WORK The clinical component of the course consists of 3 types of evaluations, i.e. Clinical Exam 1, Clinical Exam 2 and the Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs); and your Clinical Rotations (including a patient portfolio). Clinical Rotations In keeping with the HPCSA’s requirements for the training of Student Biokineticists, the Biokinetics honours course comprises 3 designated 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). 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 will furthermore be evaluated at certain times during 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. Seven different rotations will be available to students during the year. Some practices are busier than others making it possible for both students to go to the same practice/centre, but certain rotations will include 2 (or more) venues where one of you will go to the one practice and one to the second practice. The following week the two students will swop practices. The designated practices for clinical rotations with their respective clinical supervisors are as follows (outside practice are indicated):

Rotation Venues/Practices/Units

1 SSISA Fitness Centre – Lyle Barreiro

2

SSISA Healthy Weight Programme (HWP) – Claire Cowan Victoria Hospital (outside) – Dr Nasief van der Schyff SSISA Community Health Intervention Programmes (CHIPS) – Juandré Davids

3 SSISA Orthopaedics and Neurological Rehabilitation Unit - Avinesh Pursad

4 SSISA Cardiac/Chronic Disease Rotation – Waseem Choonara

5 Angie Lander Biokineticists (outside) – Angie Lander Kim Murphy Biokineticists (outside) – Kim Murphy

6 SSISA High Performance Centre – Niel Michau

7 Constantiaberg Human Performance Centre (outside) – Simone White Tiaan Campher Biokineticists (outside) – Tiaan Campher

11

Your first rotation (starting 19 February) will run for 5 weeks, while all other rotations will run for 4 weeks per rotation. Clinical Rotations will take place 3-4 times per week for roughly 2 to 5 hours per rotation slot, depending on the designated operating times of the specific practice. 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 approximately 12 – 21 hours per week in clinical work with patients during the rotation. The maximum number of hours during an allocated rotation will depend on the operating hours of the practice, for example SSISA Fitness Centre operates from 5.30am to 9:00pm, but Angie Lander’s Practice operates from 8am to 5pm. 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. Clinical rotation slots during a typical week: Mondays: 6am – 8am; 11am – 2pm; 5pm – 7pm Wednesdays: 6am – 12pm Thursdays 1pm – 7pm Fridays 6am – 8am The clinical rotations format and timetable information will be available in electronic format via email. During “block weeks” (indicated in light yellow on the timetable) lectures will clash with clinical rotations. Students must schedule different clinical rotation times with their specific supervisor during “block weeks”, in order to obtain at least 12 clinical hours within that specific week. Sometimes official exams will also clash with clinical rotations. The student must inform the supervisor that they cannot attend the rotation due to exam. Students will not be expected to “catch up” lost clinical rotation times due to official exams/tests. Evaluation of Clinical Rotations The number of clinical hours obtained plus the average mark given by all Supervisor evaluations will determine your mark for your clinical rotations section. HPCSA regulations recommends 350 hours of clinical rotations during the training year. The minimum number of hours acceptable during the year is 280 hours. Fewer logged hours will negatively influence your mark for clinical rotations, subsequently affecting your Clinical Work Module Mark. Finally, two forms per student are required to be handed in within 1 week after rotation 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).

12

Community Outreach Projects: Victoria Hospital and Chips are community outreach rotations which is a compulsory section of your overall Clinical hours. Apart from Victoria Hospital, where you will complete clinical hours on Monday afternoon, the managers of CHIPS will frequently ask for the assistance from Hons Biokinetics students to assist with field testing. By the end of the year, students must have accumulated at least 40 Hours of Community Outreach Hours. Clinical Rotation Practices: SSISA Fitness Centre Located at the Sports Science Institute of South Africa, the SSISA fitness centre is equipped with modern training equipment, a 25m swimming pool and a 140m indoor tartan track which hosts a variety of group exercise classes available to members.

3. RESEARCH PROJECT & THESIS Module convenor: Prof Mike Lambert 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, postgraduate 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 October. The completed project should be handed in on Friday 9th November before 16h00. The research project will be evaluated as a written report and also in an oral presentation (Wednesday 21st November). All the skills required to conduct a successful research project will be presented in the Research Methods and Statistics module described above. CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FINAL MARK Modules: 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 the Health Promotion Module. Test (first term). During the 4th week of term 2, the Chronic Diseases module test will be written; and during the last week last week of the term 2, the NEMS module test will be written. Lab-based practicals and assignments will mostly consist of administrating exercise testing/physical assessments and exercise prescription. Within each module except for the RESE module: Your average mark for all assignments completed within modules will account for 20% of the final module mark, and the Average Module tests (4 tests plus final RESE module) will account for 80% of the final module mark. The RESE module consists of several different components that will contribute to the final RESE Module mark (See Module 6). Final exams: This component consist of the Final Clinical Exam (with External Examiner) and two 3-hour written papers. Paper 1 (12 June) will contain questions which are designed to integrate the knowledge of all the work during the first semester. The June Written examination (Paper 1) will cover the theoretical and applied content of the Exercise Physiology, Health Promotion, Chronic Diseases and NEMS modules. Paper 2

17

(1 October) will test the student’s ability to critically analyse a scientific paper. The final Biokinetics Clinical Exam will take place over 2 days (23 & 24 Oct). Clinical Work Module Mark: Consists of 2 x oral exams (Exam 1: 18 & 19 June; Exam 2: 4 & 5 Sep) in the form of Clinical Exams, the OSCEs and your clinical rotation mark. Your clinical rotation mark heavily relies on your number of clinical hours and the average mark given by each rotation supervisor.

Criteria to pass the course To pass the course students must achieve a minimum of 50% for each of the following sections:

1. Combined mark of modules and final exams 2. Biokinetics Clinical Work Module 3. Research project 4. Final year mark

Pass marks of 50-59%, 60-69%, 70-74% or 75% and higher will earn either third (3), lower second (2-), upper second (2+) or first class (1) degrees, respectively. Students wishing to be considered for further postgraduate study in the department should try to achieve an upper second class or first class BSc(Med)(Hons) degree. Postgraduate students with a first class BSc (Med)(Hons) degree can apply for special scholarships. Information about scholarships is available in the Postgraduate Bursary Office. Note that the closing dates of many bursary applications are before October. Case Studies From March to October, regular case study discussions will be held. During semester 1, the staff of SSISA and interns will present case studies from which students can learn. During semester 2, two students will be paired with one intern, each team will get a chance to present a case study during the case study sessions (once a week). These case studies will aid to the student’s clinical knowledge and experience, and provide revision in order to prepare for Clinical exams.

ADMINISTRATION

1. 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. Each student will receive an email inviting them to access the Google calendar. Lecture schedules will be maintained on this electronic calendar. Name of calendar: “Bio Hons classes”. 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.

2. Friday Departmental Meetings

Honours students will then join staff and MSc and PhD students for tea and cake from 10h15 on Friday mornings and then a department meeting for about an hour. At the department meeting, various topics are presented and discussed related to Exercise Science. The presenter will either be a student, staff member or visiting academic. The

20

departmental meeting is compulsory to all Honours Students. If you cannot attend the Departmental meeting due to unforeseen circumstances, you must inform the Friday meeting Coordinators (Ms Kathryn van Boom/Ms Kate Larmuth) via email no later than the Thursday prior to the meeting.

3. Journal Clubs The Division coordinates several Journal clubs managed by selected members of the Division’s respective research teams. If the research domain is of interest to you; or you are advised by your project supervisor to attend a specific journal club, the details – date, time and topic - of the journal club will be displayed on a different Google calendar, called ESSM Diary.

Module 2: 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


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

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

Convenor: Prof 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

35

count final 10% toward the final module mark. This is due for handing in on the 4th May or anytime before. 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 20th April. Class assignments: There will be 1 class assignment to be completed as part of the Biostatistics component of the module. This will comprise 15% of the final module mark. Research Methods and Biostatistics course outline 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 25th 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 (either narrative or systematic review), 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 17th September. The evaluation is comprised of:

Component % of final module mark Protocol presentation oral 5% Project proposal written 10% Class assignments 15% 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 below.
