To know the theoretical principles on which the practice of physical activities is based.
To know the adaptations induced by the training of the various motor skills.
The use the theoretical principles to organize training programs.
To know training methods, means and contents.
The outcome of this module is to deliver to the student the necessary knowledge to train an athlete at every level of fitness and for any sports performance. Scientific informations are organized and delivered in a generalized way to find specific application. In particular, the module of Methodology has the purpose to transfer to the student the training methodologies and the effects related to them, so that the student can understand how to indivualize the workloads according to the state of training and the "motor history" .
Frontal lessons.
Students will mostly learn in class. They will take personal notes and will be also able to have a copy of the slides used in class. They also will attend practice sessions to learn how to apply the method during a training or a team workout.
The theory of training. The motor system and its components. Biological principles of training. Methodological principles. Training methods and goals. Conditional and coordinative skills.
