Learning objectives

The aim of the course is to consolidate, through practical application, the student's ability to modulate the metabolic intensity element in the prescription of the individualized exercise. The course explores the theoretical skills related to the main functional indices used to quantify the metabolic intensity element in the exercise prescription and the measurement methods of these indices. Referring to the most recent international literature, the course provides advanced skills related to the correct individualization of the workload and the translation of metabolic intensity indices into an equivalent external load.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Physiology of the cardiorespiratory and muscular systems

Program

Physiology of cardiovascular and metabolic responses to physical exercise (acute and chronic adaptations) - Modifications of these responses in relation to age, gender, and health status of the individual. - Principles and basic elements of risk stratification in the prescription of physical exercise - Evaluation of physical performance capacity: tests for evaluating cardiometabolic capacity and segmental muscle strength (through laboratory and field tests). - Evaluation of body composition. - Prescription of physical exercise in the most frequent chronic non-communicable diseases: indications and contraindications to physical exercise. - Evaluation of the benefits deriving from physical exercise - Principles of training theory
