Learning objectives
This course aims to introduce the students to the comprehension of the biochemical processes essential for both cell and organism functions. The student will need to acquire the necessary knowledges to the under-standing to the chemical transformations, essential requirement for the study of the structure-function relation-ships of the biological macromolecules and of metabolism. This will be correlated to specific features of molecules and of metabolic pathways involved in physical exercise.

Learning assessment procedures
A written test consisting of two parts:
1) 10 multiple choice questions (assessment of basic knowledge)
2) 3 open questions.
Test duration 60 '
Evaluation criteria
- 1.5 points for each multiple choice question (at least 7/10 correct answers are required)
- Up to 7 points for the first open question
- Up to 5 points for each of the subsequent open questions
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The final grade is equivalent to the sum of the points obtained

Type D and Type F activities
I Regolamenti dei corsi di laurea e di laurea magistrale di scienze motorie prevedono che gli studenti possano completare il proprio piano didattico, frequentando oltre agli insegnamenti obbligatori anche delle attività formative a scelta, per approfondire alcuni aspetti tematici o settori di interesse, in coerenza con il proprio percorso formativo.
Le attività formative a scelta di ambito D sono indicate all’interno del piano didattico del corso di studio prescelto, mentre le attività formative di ambito F sono individuate da una apposita commissione di docenti. Queste ultime attività possono essere conferenze, seminari, webinar, altro e vengono acquisite con una valutazione e non con un voto in trentesimi.
PERCORSO ELETTIVO
E' possibile personalizzare il proprio piano didattico, selezionando determinate attività a scelta e attivando così un "percorso elettivo" di preferenza tra quelli proposti dal Collegio didattico di Scienze motorie.
Ai link sotto indicati si possono trovare le tabelle con le attività a scelta e i percorsi elettivi disponibili e le indicazioni per l'inserimento delle attività a scelta nel piano didattico da compilare a cura dello studente:

News for students
There you will find information, resources and services useful during your time at the University (Student’s exam record, your study plan on ESSE3, Distance Learning courses, university email account, office forms, administrative procedures, etc.). You can log into MyUnivr with your GIA login details.
Further services
I servizi e le attività di orientamento sono pensati per fornire alle future matricole gli strumenti e le informazioni che consentano loro di compiere una scelta consapevole del corso di studi universitario.
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).

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:
