This module was developed at the School of Public Health, University for the Western Cape for the Postgraduate Certificate in Public Health which was offered as a distance learning module between 2001 and 2008. It was designed to meet the growing need for an applied course in the measurement of a variety of health indicators and outcomes. Whether you manage a health programme, a health facility, or simply have to interpret health data in the course of your work, this module sets out to increase your capacity to deal with health and disease information. It aims to assist you in applying epidemiological knowledge and skills to a variety of Public Health problems such as: Is your DOTS programme succeeding? What does it mean if a TB prevalence is 850/100 000? Is this a Public Health problem or not? What is the burden of disease in different communities?

Short Description:
Physical activity and exercise are integral parts of Indigenous identity, woven into cultural tradition throughout history. This resource aims to tell the story of physical activity, exercise, and health in Indigenous communities. Divided into four main sections, learners will begin their journey by uncovering some of the history of physical activity in Indigenous health. The learner will then explore and appreciate physical activity and health in Indigenous communities at the present time. Finally, learners will be guided towards moving forward in physical activity and health together. This resource may be used as a stand-alone online learning experience and/or for an academic course. Features include: wholistic learning objectives, informational text, suggested readings and videos, interactive activities, and opportunities to reflect on learning.

Long Description:
Physical activity and exercise are integral parts of Indigenous identity, woven into cultural tradition throughout history. Traditional games hold not only physical purpose, but also spiritual, cultural, and practical roles. The Wholistic Model (a balance of physical, cultural, intellectual-emotional, and spiritual well-being) is applied via physical activity to help develop the individual. This is important to how physical activity and individual development is approached in Indigenous communities. While there is a long history of Indigenous participation and achievement in physical activity, there is an equally long history of exclusion. Indigenous peoples have different lived experiences of physical activity, including a history of systemic and overt forms of discrimination, as well as resurgence.

This resource aims to tell the story of physical activity, exercise, and health in Indigenous communities, and helps to address the Canadian national call to action for Truth and Reconciliation by providing an open access educational resource that may serve as one step in decolonizing physical activity in the post-secondary student community.

Features of this resource, which may be used as a stand-alone resource and/or for an academic course, include: suggested course framework, wholistic learning objectives, and content that may be used in lectures presented as informational text, suggested readings and videos to augment learning. As well, this resource includes a variety of interactive activities for students such as warm-up and cool-down activities, and opportunities for students to record and reflect on their learning.
