The practice lessons aim to provide students with the knowledge of the main instruments and devices, designed for both lab and field settings, usually used for exercise physiology and biomechanics assessments of healthy and pathologic subjects or recreational and elite athletes.

Starting from the standpoint of the assessment aims, the instruments and the devices will be grouped, described, and compared in order to highlight their main characteristics (precision, ease of use, etc.), taking into account the practical usefulness of the measure obtained.

Practical learning outcomes. The student will possess:

• the ability to apply the theoretical concepts previously retained in choosing the instrumentation needed to perform the most common human performance assessments;

Teaching

Some of the instruments that are physically within the laboratory in which the practice lessons will be held will be used in simulated assessments with the aim to provide the student with the possibility to either be tested or be the tester.
