Period
I semestre dal Oct 2, 2017 al Jan 26, 2018.
Learning outcomes
The course will consider the knowledge of the biochemical processes implicated in muscle cell functioning in a vision that integrates the entire organism. The student will learn to correlate the thermodynamic and kinetic features of the biochemical reactions belonging to the metabolism, including their enzymatic regulation, with the physiological responses to exercise in the absence or presence of training.
Program
Kinetic structure of the biochemical pathways: principles of the metabolic control of enzymes involved in the production of energy during physical exercise; equilibrium reactions and non equilibrium reactions, flux generating reactions, direction of a metabolic pathway; enzymes catalyzing flux generating reactions, the lactate dehydrogenase as an example.
Metabolic activity of the skeletal muscle: aerobic metabolism, alactic and lactic metabolism during the physical exercise; phosphocreatine and lactate; Cori Cycle; the cycle of purine nucleotides; the glucose-alanine cycle.
Lactate: the revolution on lactate knowledge.
Metabolism of carbohydrates: the effects on exercise and training in skeletal muscle.
Metabolism of amino-acids and proteins: the effects on exercise and training in skeletal muscle.
Metabolism of lipids: the effects on exercise and training in skeletal muscle.

Internships
Internships are aimed at enabling students to gain direct knowledge of the world of work and to acquire specific professional skills.
Internships are carried out under the responsibility of an individual lecturer, and can be carried out in professional firms, public administration bodies and companies recognised by the University of Verona.
Any CFU credits gained by doing internships will be recognised and recorded by the University in accordance with the relevant University regulations in force (Regolamento d’Ateneo per il riconoscimento dei crediti maturati negli stage universitari).
For further information on internships, please go to: https://www.univr.it/it/i-nostri-servizi/stage-e-tirocini.

Orario lezioni
L’orario delle lezioni è pubblicato nel portale studenti e nella app univr lezioni
Lezioni Frontali in aula
E' obbligatoria la prenotazione del posto in aula. La presenza deve essere confermata nella app all'inizio della lezione.
Esercitazioni e laboratori
Sono organizzati per gruppi dai singoli docenti responsabili dei corsi. Non è necessaria la prenotazione del posto: la presenza sarà rilevata dal docente il giorno stesso.
Vige l'obbligo di frequenza al 70% come da Regolamento dei corsi di laurea e laurea magistrale:
L'accesso alle pagine Moodle dei singoli insegnamenti è vincolato alla compilazione del piano di studi.

Competenze linguistiche
DOPO LA LAUREA TRIENNALE
Per proseguire gli studi in uno dei corsi di Laurea Magistrale dell'ambito delle Scienze motorie è necessario possedere competenze linguistiche almeno di livello B1 informatizzato (o superiore) specificamente di lingua inglese, poichè i corsi di studio di livello superiore prevedono nel proprio piano didattico la presenza di insegnamenti o di moduli impartiti dai docenti direttamente in inglese.
Inoltre, tali competenze costituiscono requisito di accesso indispensabile per poter partecipare alla prova di ìngresso oppure per iscriversi ad una laurea magistrale.
La conoscenza di altre lingue diverse dall'Inglese NON può venire riconosciuta come "requisito" utile per l'accesso ai corsi di laurea magistrale. Tuttavia, la certificazione posseduta potrà essere valutata da un'apposita Commissione di docenti ed eventualmente riconosciuta in termini di crediti (CFU) a scelta dello studente, presentando domanda al momento dell'immatricolazione.
Si invita a leggere con attenzione i bandi di concorso annuali per l'ammissione ai corsi di laurea magistrali per maggiori informazioni - consultare nel sito del corso di studio anche la sezione "Iscriversi".
