The teaching is organized as follows:

Learning objectives

MM1: The course allows to acquire the main techniques used to analyze and improve the performance and its determinants through laboratory and field tools. It permits to know, to plan and apply training models in different situations, including relationship to single and multidisciplinary disciplines. It allows the preparation and interpretation of descriptive reports about performance characteristics of athletes MM2: Metodi e didattiche delle attività motorie: This course focuses on the bases and applications of theories of motor learning. Principles and concepts related to the acquisition and relearning of motor skills are considered by examining practical applications of motor learning in sports and physical activity. Course objectives: • Understand the processes and theories that underpin motor learning; • Promote critical thinking by reflecting on the strengths and limitations of motor learning research/theories; • Assess motor function using the appropriate measurements in a sporting, health and exercise context; • Understand how to manipulate a motor learning environment to optimize motor learning. MM 3: Metodi e didattiche delle attività motorie: The aim of this course is to provide the basis to understand the physiological and biomechanical factors that determine force and power output: the length of the muscle and the speed of contraction (the F-V and F-L curves), muscle architecture, the type of fibers, the elastic characteristics of tendons and joint angles (which influence the lever arms of the external forces). Some techniques for the functional assessment of muscle force (in the laboratory and in the field) will also be presented and discussed. MM4: Metodi e didattiche delle attività motorie: The aim of the course is to learn how to evaluate/monitor changes in muscle strength and to interpret these changes in a training-planning perspective, and to understand the remodeling and behavior of the muscle-tendon unit with the aim of improving performance and prevent injuries. Specifically, the F-V and F-L curves will be obtained in different contexts (laboratory, field, gym), during single and multi-joint exercises and their role in monitoring training will be discussed and interpreted. Finally, the effects of force imbalances and how to evaluate them, will also be discussed. MM5: The course allows to acquire the main methodological model used to improve the performance and its determinants. It permits to know, to plan and apply this training models in different situations, including relationship to single and multidisciplinary disciplines.

Prerequisites and basic notions

This course requires a good knowledge of training methodology and of exercise physiology. The participants have to be able to correctly manage funtional evaluation and different training sessions.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

Passing all three modules (with a grade> 18/30 in each) allows access to the final oral exam. The grade will take into account the weighted average of the individual modules (written and oral).
