Learning outcomes
• Learn the basics of how the human body works as a set of organs and systems; also integrating and completing the knowledge already acquired in physics, chemistry, biochemistry, anatomy and biology. • Acquire a critical approach to knowledge deriving from the application of the scientific method, in particular applied to the analysis of physiological responses to exercise. • Identify the functional purpose of the organs and systems by understanding their role in maintaining the general homeostasis of the human organism. • To acquire the fundamental physiological bases of motor control in humans.
Program

Examination Methods
Examination methods The exam consists of a multiple-choice test (80 questions in 150 minutes). The examination procedures are identical for attending and non-attending students. The minimum score for the written examination is 48/80. During the course will be available on the University e-Learning (Moodle) space in teacher / teaching page, examples of multiple choice questions on the various topics covered in class. The correspondence between votes and the number of correct answers is calculated according to the ECTS conversion table (A-F) as follows • 30 cum laude: 70 correct answers (A) • 30: 68 correct answers (B) • 29: 66 correct answers (B) • 28: 64 correct answers (C) • 27: 62 correct answers (C) • 26: 60 correct answers (D) • 25: 58 correct answers (D) • 24: 56 correct answers (D) • 23: 54 correct answers (E) • 22: 52 correct answers (E) • 21: 51 correct answers (E) • 20: 50 correct answers (E) • 19: 49 correct answers (E) • 18: 48 correct answers (E) • Test not passed (F): below the 48 correct answers. The outcome of the Exam is communicated on the same day online, on the alert page of the Department of Neuroscience, Biomedicine and Movement: http://www.dsnm.univr.it/?ent=avviso&dest=200 Candidates must notify the vote within a maximum time of 7 days. In the absence of communication, the corresponding evaluation in thirtieths will be automatically recorded.

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.

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:
