Learning objectives
The aim of this course is to give an understanding of fundaments of human movements from a kinematic and biomechanical perspective with particular focus on characteristics and constraint of outdoor and mountain environment. At the end of this course the students should be able to understand what are the specific pattern of motion, force and muscular engagement faced by a subject performing physical activity, exercising or competing outdoor on different terrain.

Prerequisites and basic notions
Fundamentals of classical mechanical physics (linear and angular kinematics, forces, moments of force, work, energy, power)
Fundamentals of biomechanics of human movement
Elements of exercise physiology
Program
The teaching activity will be organized in frontal lessons introducing theoretical knowledge and in laboratory activity devoted to the investigation trough experimental measures.
The programme will include the following topics
• Human motion against gravity, the characteristic of uphill and downhill locomotion
• Human motion on uneven terrain, moving through different environment, ( es. slippery and soft surfaces)
• Human motion and its interaction with specific shoes, analysis of the effect of weight, sole stiffness and cushioning
• Human motion with the use of passive locomotory tools, the characteristic of the motion using walking poles, skis and other tools and equipments .
Students are recommended to revise the fundamentals of kinematics, dynamics, muscular factors and metabolism of human movement and sport.
Experimental session will include data analysis made by Excel software, the students are excpected to be able to perform easy task such as calculation of mean values and representation od data series on graphs
Bibliography
Didactic methods
The course is structured in lectures and laboratory exercises. The latter are divided into sessions of experimental data collection and exercise of data processing and analysis.
Learning assessment procedures
the grade will be determined on the basis of three evaluation elements
° a report of a few pages, delivered one week before the date of the written exam, having as a theme the re-elaboration of the measures collected during the laboratory exercises. Students will work in groups of 3 people. The information and operational methods of the project will be illustrated during the first lesson and the topic assigned during the laboratory lessons.
° a written exam, mostly composed of open-ended questions ° an oral exam on the topics of the course and which may also include the revision of the written exam and the report delivered
NOTE: A score is required for admission to the oral exam minimum 18/30 of the written test
Evaluation criteria
* relationship: -> the correctness of the information given in the introduction (0-1), the correctness of the steps followed for the extraction of the expected parameters (0-5) the correctness of the extracted parameters (0-3) will be evaluated the adequacy of the presentation of the same (0-2)
* written exam: -> for each of the questions the correctness and completeness of each answer will be assessed and a score (0-5) will be assigned
* oral exam: -> for each answer given in the oral exam (which will consist of at least 3 different questions) a score (0-8) will be assigned on the basis of the correctness and completeness of the answers and a final average score will then be calculated
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The final grade will derive from an average of the evaluations according to the following weights:
* 12% report
* 44% written exam
* 44% oral exam
