Learning objectives
At the end of the course, students will be in possession of: A. Knowledge about the role of physical activities in successful ageing, in some kinds of disabilities and diseases; B. Competencies to plan, program and conduct adapted physical activities, in different settings, for older people, persons with some disabilities and with some kinds of chronic disease.
Prerequisites and basic notions
There are no formal requirements (propedeuticità). It is appropriate that students have significant knowledge of the characteristics of aging and the main non-communicable diseases. Mastery of the main free body exercises and with the use of the typical tools of fitness centers is considered acquired.
Program
Theory - prof. Massimo Lanza
Preventive role of physical activity against aging, disability, and pathologies;
Guidelines for preventive and adapted physical activities (APA) in disabilities and pathologies;
Contexts and types of APA for elderly, disabled, and subjects with chronic stabilized diseases;
Design, programming, and management of APA:
- The constitutive elements of planning and programming;
- Evaluation: general criteria, measures, and protocols adapted to elderly people, disabled people, and carriers of chronic diseases;
- Teaching styles in APA.
- Indications for physical activity and training adapted to the specific needs of elderly people or those with pathologies. They will be addressed more specifically;
- Group APA for the elderly
- APA for overweight-obese people
- APA for people with Parkinson's
- APA for people with cerebral palsy
Characteristics of teaching activities adapted to specific contexts:
- The guided walks;
- APA in fitness centers;
- APA in group courses
- APA in residences for the elderly
- Individualized intervention (personal training)
Exercises - Dr. Valentina Cavedon
Methodological, technical, and structural adaptations of APA and adapted sports.
Sports activities adapted for people with visual impairments
- The goalball
- Baseball for the blind
Sports activities adapted for people with intellectual and relational deficits
- Football adapted for people with intellectual and relational deficits
- Tennis adapted for people with intellectual and relational deficits
Sports activities adapted for people with physical disabilities
- Sitting Volleyball
- Football Amputees
- Wheelchair sports
Physical activity adapted for people with multiple sclerosis and for people with spinal cord injury: the guidelines;
The inclusion of the child/young person with disabilities during physical education classes at school.
Laboratory - Dr. Alice Avancini
Physical activity and oncological pathologies
- primary and secondary prevention
- physical exercise as tertiary prevention
- The multidisciplinary approach to the cancer patient
Physical activity and bone problems
- physical activity in the conditions of bone metastases
- physical activity in conditions of osteoporosis
Physical activity and exercise in cardiovascular diseases
Didactic methods
The course is conducted by three teachers, Dr. Alice Avancini, Dr. Valentina Cavedon and Prof. Massimo Lanza. It includes theoretical lessons, exercises in which practical and conceptual activities will be proposed, and, finally, laboratories in which students will actively produce practical activities, case studies and design reworkings.
Learning assessment procedures
The exam consists of three parts: - Production of a "Project work" applied to the contexts of adapted physical activities and to the types of reference users.
- Oral examination of the program relating to the exercises
- Oral examination of the program relating to the laboratory.
Evaluation criteria
The "Project work" will be evaluated on the basis of the relevance, correctness, and quality of the required planning-programming elements: scientific background, analysis of the task, objectives, tools, and methods of evaluation, the content of the activities, methods of proposing and conducting the activities, management elements and economic aspects of the project.
Assessment of oral examinations will be based on the mastery of program knowledge and the ability to apply them to realistic cases.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The overall grade will be formulated with the arithmetic average of the marks in the three parts of the exam.
