Educational objectives At the end of the course the student is expected to have acquired the theoretical and practical knowlwge necessary to adequately choose evaluation tests in a fitness program
Prerequisites Basic knowledge of biology, biochemistry physiology, pathology, biomechanics and sport science acquired in the basic curse of motor sciences are desirable. However, at the beginning of the curse an evaluation test, aiming to define the knowledge of the propedeutical arguments will be performed and the lessons will be accordingly tailored.
Teaching methods face to face
Other information For information on support services for students with disabilities and / or DSA visit http://www.unipg.it/disabilita-e-dsa
Learning verification modality 2 progress evaluations with multiple choice questions aimed at verifying the learning level about the arguments described in the lessons and a final oral exam designed to assess the degree of retention of the contents, and the associative skill of the student
Extended program Propaedeutical elements

Essentials of anatomy and physiology of the organs and systems primarily involved in the motion and physical exercise: musculo-skeletal system as biomechanical effector, the nervous system as control system. Cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Elements of kinesiology: plans and reference axes of the human body. Postures and movement patterns. Elements of biomechanics: elements of physics of the vectors, levers, moment of force and its measure units, the skeletal muscle as a vectorial force generator,

Principles of human movement and training science:"The integration of information from multiple sensory modalities allows for the creation of internal representations of the body relative to the surround essential to produce effective motor commands. Motor principles. Closed loop and open loop control of movement.
