Learning objectives

By attending the class the student will learn the main approaches developed (both holistic and deterministic) for describing and predicting the human movement. The students will receive basic information about the control and learning of human movement. In particular, the control of movement, the perception action coupling and the related emergent features defined from movement behavior. At the end of the class the student is supposed to know the contents presented during class by showing a critical and individual capacity of judgment and evaluation of cases ranged from the sport environment to the movements performed in the everyday life.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Students must have basic knowledge of the anatomy of the human body, basic knowledge of Physics and Geometry, be able to read graphs and be able to recognize axes and planes.

Didactic methods

Lectures held in the classroom. During the lesson, breaks will be taken to allow students to formulate questions and have clarifications on specific topics covered.

Learning assessment procedures

The exam will be written and oral As regards the written part, the task will consist of 60 multiple choice closed questions with only one possibility of correct answer. The time to take the exam will be 50 minutes. If the student / student passes the written test, she can access the oral exam. If, on the other hand, he decides to accept the grade of the written test, he or she may not take the oral exam and ask to have registered the grade obtained with the written test. Erasmus students will have more time to take the test

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

The evaluation for the written paper will be calculated based on the number of correct answers (60 questions in total) without subtracting points for incorrect answers. In this way 1 correct answer will have the value of half a point.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

the test consisting of 60 questions will include 60% of the questions for the motor control part and the remaining 30% for the motor learning part
