Learning outcomes
The course provides students with the fundamental concepts for the comprehension of molecular mechanisms operating at the cellular and tissue level in response to physical exercise and hypoxia.
At the end of this course the students will be able to:
1. comprehensively describe the adaptive responses to exercise and hypoxia;
2. fully understand the main cellular responses operating in the context of adaptation;
3. explain in depth the molecular mechanisms underlying paradigmatic adaptive responses;
4. integrate molecular, cellular and systemic mechanisms of adaptation;
5. critically analyze the acquired knowledge in the physiopathological and sports context

5. critically analyze the acquired knowledge in the physiopathological and sports context
Program
The course will be divided into two modules in which the following topics will be discussed:
1. Adaptative responses to the exercise:
- The integrated response to the exercise;
- Exercise and energy metabolism;
- Exercise-induced muscular hypertrophy: molecular signaling pathways involved, transcriptional mechanisms and control of protein synthesis;
- Stem cells and adaptive muscle response;
- Myokines and exercise;
- Exercise and brain.
2. Adaptive responses to hypoxia:
- Cellular and molecular mechanisms of oxygen sensing;
- Cellular and molecular responses to hypoxia: transcriptional mechanisms and control of protein synthesis;
- Epigenetic response to hypoxia;
- Muscle response to hypoxia: implications of physical exercise;
- Chronic and acute Hypoxia;
- Human evolution in altitude;
- Hints to molecular mechanisms of doping
-Hypoxia and apnea.
Lessons consist of frontal lectures (with slides) including group discussions of experimental evidence to support the illustrated concepts. The lessons will be held in Italian. The reference material will be partially in English. In addition to slides, the student may make use of scientific articles that will be indicated and the following texts:
1. Zierath J.R., Joyner M.J., Hawley J.A. (2017). The Biology of Exercise COLD SPRING HARBOR LABORATORY PRESS
2. Swenson E.R., Bartsch P. (2014). High Altitude: Human Adaptation to Hypoxia. Springer.
3. Speigelman B. (2017). Hormones, Metabolism asnd the Benefits of Exercise. Springer.
4. Roach R.C., Wagner P.D., Hackett P.H. (2016). Hypoxia: Translation in Progress. Springer.
Examination Methods
The objective of the exam consists in verifying the level of achievement of the previously indicated training objectives.
The exam consists of an oral interview with the teachers in which questions addressed in the course will be discussed.

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
N.B. Si ricorda di confermare la prenotazione del posto nel momento in cui si accede all’aula.
Le esercitazioni e i laboratori verranno organizzati in sottogruppi dai singoli docenti responsabili dei corsi e sarà necessario frequentarle in sede e solamente per queste non sarà necessaria la prenotazione del posto ma verrà rilevata la presenza dal docente il giorno stesso.
E' confermato l'obbligo di frequenza al 70% (in presenza o in videoregistrazione), 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.
Ulteriori informazioni relative all'utilizzo della app Univr Lezioni, FAQ e guida all'utilizzo sono disponibili in allegato e al link:
