METODI E DIDATTICHE DELLE ATTIVITA' MOTORIE M - Z

Academic Year 2022/2023 - Teacher: GIUSEPPE MUSUMECI

Expected Learning Outcomes

Provide students with knowledge and skills to understand the principles governing motor performance and learning. Consolidate notions on cardiovascular training and for increasing muscle strength in order to be able to select the type of physical exercise most suitable for the individual. Learn the tools to structure a physical activity plan and assessment tests. Develop work plans based on the objectives to be achieved, and the needs and abilities of the individual. Acquire knowledge on the execution of the main sports gestures and be able to analyze and evaluate the biomechanics that regulates movements.

Course Structure

Lectures, theoretical-practical exercises (Movement Analysis Laboratory), in-depth seminars, cooperative teaching (student-teacher) through sharing of teaching material and multimedia supports.

If the teaching is given in a mixed or remote mode, the necessary changes with respect to what was previously stated may be introduced, in order to respect the program envisaged and reported in the syllabus.

Required Prerequisites

Knowledge of anatomy, physiology and theory of human movement.

Attendance of Lessons

Mandatory.

Detailed Course Content

Theoretical-practical lessons. The course includes the practice of field tests for the evaluation of cardiorespiratory capacity. Field tests for assessing muscle strength will also be examined. Tools such as portable dynamometers and metabolimeters will be used during the lessons and the results will be analyzed and explained in such a way as to be able to learn the operation and potential of these tools.

The theoretical part learned in the classroom concerning the planning of a training will be put into practice by the students themselves to create an individualized or group intervention.

Learning Assessment

Learning Assessment Procedures

Laboratory test in progress.

Final oral exam.

The oral exam consists of an interview in which questions concerning at least n. 5 different topics of the program. The test allows to verify: I) the level of knowledge of the subject; II) clarity of presentation; III) the property of medical-scientific language.

For the attribution of the final grade, the following parameters will be taken into account:

Grade 29-30 with honors: the student has an IN-DEPTH knowledge of the subject, has excellent communication skills and masters the medical-scientific language.

Grade 26-28: the student has a GOOD knowledge of the subject and explains the arguments clearly using an appropriate medical-scientific language;

Grade 22-25: the student has a DISCREET knowledge of the subject, even if limited to the main topics and exposes the topics quite clearly with a fair property of language;

Mark 18-21: the student has the MINIMUM knowledge of the subject and exposes the arguments in a sufficiently clear way although the property of language is not very developed;

Failed exam: the student DOES NOT HAVE THE MINIMUM KNOWLEDGE required of the main course contents. The ability to use specific language is very little or no and is unable to independently apply the knowledge acquired.
