The main aim of the course in Technic Analysis in Sportsis to give the students the basis to design and implement qualitative and quantitative evaluations of the motor performance, with the final goal of improving the sport performance. The approach will be that typical of the scientific methods.
At the end of the course the student should know:
Classes (25%), problem based learning (25%), laboratories (50%).
Any Student with documented Specific Learning Disorders (SLD), or with any special needs, shall reach out to the Lecturer(s) and to the dedicated SLD Representative in the Department before class begins, in order to liase and arrange the specific teaching methods and ensure proper achievement of the learning aims and outcomes.
Classes: scientific methodologies applied in sport field; basis of statistical methodologies; how to read the scientific sport literature; technologies to capture and analyze movement kinematics; how to evaluate movement from a qualitative and quantitative point of view; which kind of movement, motion environment, how to provide feedback by means of images and video; knowing proper movement dynamics.
Laboratories: use of biomedical technologies such as infrared motion capture, electromyography, platform for postural analysis, accelerometers, instrumentation for force and power analysis, sensor-engineered glove to acquire finger movements, graphic tablet to acquire planar arm’s movements and software for video-analysis, transcranial magnetic stimulation, functional near infrared spectroscopy
Group activities: solving a problem shared with the other courses.

ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES IN SPORTS
The examination consists of two parts: - Data collection in the laboratory, data analysis and writing a report in scientific article format. Group work (80%). - Oral where the project is discussed and knowledge acquired is ascertained (20%).
It is advisable, at the beginning of the course, to subscribe to Aulaweb in order to receive and be kept up-to-date on teaching details.
