EXAM DESCRIPTION

The exam will be practical and will focus on the creation and application of tests for the functional evaluation of athletes in different sport disciplines

This teaching is part of the integrated course of " Methods for functional assessment and research in the field of adapted physical activity” including:

  • FUNCTIONAL EVALUATION TEST
  • ATP- FUNCTIONAL EVALUATION TEST
  • RESEARCH BASICS

The exam will be considered passed with a score of 18/30.

The final grade of the integrated course will derive from the weighted average of the grades obtained in the 3 modules that are part of the integrated course.

 

In case of certification of specific learning disability, disability or other special educational needs, the University legislation and regulations on disability and SLD are applied (https://unige.it/disabilita-dsa/studenti-disabilit%C3% A0-normative).

See also the "Other information" section of this syllabus.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

The exam will verify the acquisition of basic knowledge of the teaching and will allow to evaluate the ability to apply the acquired knowledge.
