Biomechanics and Methods of Movement Measurement: understanding of the course topics requires knowledge of basic concepts of the physics and the mathematics. These notions are only partially recalled during the course.

Sport Physiology: exercise physiology and body / apparatus response to short and long-lasting physical stress.

Biomechanics and Methods of Movement Measurement course the aim is to provide students with basic knowledge regarding: 1. Biomechanics of movement; 2. quantitative motor function assessment and human balance control; 4. simple machines (levers and pulleys).
At the end of the course, the student should be able to evaluate human motor function from a biomechanics point of view.

Sports Physiology: the goal of the course is to provide the student the knowledge about the mechanisms underlying the adaptive responses of the cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular and endocrine system to physical exercise.

Biomechanics and Methods of Movement Measurement:
- Physical quantities: scalars and vectors.
- Rigid body and biomechanical model of the human body.
- Definition and computation of the body center of mass space position in static and dynamic conditions.
- Balance control in static and dynamic conditions.
- Kinetics of movement: forces and force moments.
- Static: translational and rotational equilibrium.
- Simple machines: levers, pulleys (simple and compound).


Sports Physiology:
- energy during exercise: anaerobic sources of alattacide, lactic mechanism and oxidative aerobic metabolism
- Oxygen Debt and Oxygen Debt Recovery
-Measurement of energy metabolism: direct and indirect calorimetry
- Cardiovascular function: functional adaptations related to physical activity
- Respiratory function: functional adaptations related to physical activity, lactate threshold
- Aerobic capacity training
- muscle: functional adaptations associated with training
- causes of fatigue
- Endocrine System and Exercise

Biomechanics and Methods of Movement Measurement: lectures (hours/year in lecture theatre: 45) carried out by means of presentations (PowerPoint) projected on screen. During the classes exercises are carried out on the chalkboard by the teacher and sometimes by the student. If deemed suitable, to aid understanding of the main topics, educational videos are shown.

Sports Physiology: lectures (hours/year in lecture theatre: 24) carried out by means of presentations (PowerPoint) projected on screen.

Biomechanics and Methods of Movement Measurement: written examination based on open questions, multiple-choice questions and at least two exercises of biomechanics. Open questions are related to a specific topic, or a part thereof, in which the student must demonstrate a good knowledge of the problems treated. Each answer must be articulated and well argued. Each multiple-choice question has one correct answer out of four that are proposed. The exercises concern the kinematics and the kinetics of the human body movement. At the discretion of the student, after completion of the mandatory written exam, it is possible to support an oral. In the oral examination student must demonstrate that he has reasoned and revised the topic and that he is able to discuss it with an appropriate technical language.
