Learning Objectives
The course aims to provide an advanced understanding of the core principles and topics of Sport Physiology. The acute responses to exercise and functional adaptations of the body during exercise and during sports training will be analyzed. Acute responses and adaptations of the body during physical activity in different environmental and physiological conditions will also be considered.
Program
Motor control, reflexive, rhythmic and voluntary movements. Locomotion. Thermoregulation: physiological responses and adaptations to exercise in hot and cold environment. Muscular, circulatory and respiratory responses and adaptations to exercise and training. Hormonal responses to exercise, hydrosaline balance, glucose and lipid metabolism. Physiological responses and adaptations to apnea and altitude. Physical activity and children. Physical activity and the elderly. Ergogenic aids to improve performance in sports.
Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)
In agreement with the Dublin Descriptors all students must satisfy the following requirements:
1- KNOWLEDGE AND CAPACITY OF UNDERSTANDING: the student must be able to set a logical and complete discussion about theoretical aspects of the Sport Physiology and to make connections among the treated topics;
2- CAPACITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: the student must be able to apply the acquired knowledge to the discussion of different issues within Sport Physiology;
3- JUDGEMENT AUTONOMY: the student must make independent decisions and choices about different aspects inherent to Sport Physiology.
4- COMMUNICATION SKILLS: the student must be able to communicate, clearly and comprehensively, the acquired knowledge, using an appropriate language and scientific terms;
5- LEARNING ABILITY: the student must be able to analyze and understand scientific texts about Sport Physiology and to use them for study and research.
