AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The aim of the teaching, in light of theoretical knowledge, includes the application of different training programs through technical and practical activities.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course aims to provide practical tools and applied scientific knowledge for the effective planning and management of physiological responses to various types of training. Special emphasis is placed on the development and enhancement of performance in individual and team sports through the direct application of methodologies and techniques that allow for the adaptation and optimization of training programs according to the specific needs of athletes. 

By the end of the course, students will be able to:

  • Apply practical knowledge to develop operational skills through hands-on activities and the analysis of real-world cases, acquiring abilities immediately transferable to professional contexts;
  • Identify and address general issues related to athletic preparation and training management, providing a solid foundation for subsequent core courses in the Study Program.

TEACHING METHODS

The course includes in-person instructional activities with a practical component. Lectures will be primarily delivered at the CUS, in the Centro Polifunzionale di Scienze Motorie and sometime in classrooms, where students will have the opportunity to directly apply theoretical knowledge through exercises, hands-on practice, and the use of specialized equipment.

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

For detailed information on the content covered, please refer to the syllabus for the theoretical lectures, which comprehensively outlines the topics, specific objectives, and structure of the theoretical component of the course.

EXAM DESCRIPTION

The examination will be Oral: using a power point presentation

This teaching is part of the integrated course ‘Biological and biomechanical aspects of sports performance 2’. For this reason, the examination for this teaching module must be taken together with the other 2 teaching modules on the same call date.

Oral examination focusing separately on the topics of the syllabus to test knowledge of the content covered as described in the syllabus. The oral examination will take the form of a PowerPoint presentation of an annual training plan for a sport of your choice. The presentation must be submitted to the tutor at least one week before the examination. 

This part of the examination will be considered passed with a mark of 18/30.

The examination of the integrated course will be considered passed if all three papers have achieved a mark of at least 18/30.

The final mark for the integrated course will be derived from the weighted average of the three individual scores

For cases with certification of DSA, disability or other special educational needs, the University's rules and regulations on disability and DSA apply (https://unige.it/disabilita-dsa/studenti-disabilit%C3%A0-normativa).

ASSESSMENT METHODS

The examination will be conducted through a Power Point presentation aimed at assessing the acquisition of fundamental knowledge related to the course. Subsequent questions will allow for an in-depth evaluation of the practical skills acquired in training program design. The oral exam will focus on a topic chosen by the student and presented via Power Point.

 

FURTHER INFORMATION

Cases with a certified DSA, disability or other special educational needs are advised to contact both the Departmental contact person, Prof. Nicola Girtler, and the lecturer at the beginning of lessons in order to agree on teaching and examination methods that, while respecting the teaching objectives, take account of individual learning methods and provide suitable compensatory/exemptory tools recognised by the University DSA Service.
