Introduction

The qualification serves as the foundational and core knowledge base to register as a Biokineticist with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). The acquisition of professional abilities such as competence, skills, values, and attitudes is fostered to enable the graduate to work as a health care professional. Competent and qualified Biokineticists are able to work in a variety of settings, including the public and private sector and in both urban and rural settings. Biokineticists primarily utilize their professional expertise in exercise testing and prescription, physical activity, and health education to enhance/promote health in general, and to prevent dysfunction, restore and maintain an individual’s functional ability, particularly in respect of orthopedic injuries and chronic diseases/conditions. The qualification will provide all economic sectors with a pool of well-qualified people whose competence will be internationally recognized and who will be able to perform specialized biokinetic health care services within any community setting. The qualification is distinct from other qualifications within the health care profession as its main focus is the use of scientifically-based exercise prescription as a means of therapeutic intervention.
