• Recognise the effects of ageing and hip osteoarthritis

• Recognise the role of the deep hip external rotators

• Recall the benefits of balance training gluteals

• Recall relevant conditions/circumstances that would benefit from intermediate exercises for the gluteals

• Recall the amount of time each exercise prescription should take and the different circumstances in which they can be prescribed
