AIMS AND CONTENT

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

Acquisition of basic skills related to the methods and techniques of motor activity. Understanding of physiological and biomechanical processes at the base of the motor skill learning facilities. Knowledge of the principles of skilled human performance.

At the end of the course, you will have to:

• Know the principles of motor performance, the nomenclature relating to movement and the skills characterizing the motor task
• Apply the principles of skilful human performance
• Critically evaluate the motor patterns of the subjects under examination
• Compare different ways of motor learning
• Classifying the motor skills that characterize a motor task
• Build / design motor intervention strategies
• Describe analytically the methodologies used for the different age groups
• Explain methods of intervention and motor programs underlying the teaching methodology

TEACHING METHODS

The course includes practical technical lessons (ATP) held in the gym.

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

Introduction to motor performance: The movement, postures and movement patterns. Coordination and conditional skills. Motor skills and learning stages. Individual differences and motor abilities.

Principles of skilled human performance: Information processing and decision making. Memory and memorisation process of motor acts. Contribution of sensory and sensitive systems to the skilled performance

Educational applications of the discussed theoretical elements: Analysis of contexts and fields of action Identification and selection of intervention strategies. Testing of some of the possible methods of motor learning. Action methodologies for different age groups. Observation skills and skills in technical analysis of movements, gestures, actions. Purpose and effectiveness of the movement.
