Scienze delle Attività Motorie e Sportive L-22 - Torino

The course aims to provide theoretical knowledge for analyzing motor behavior, designing and developing teaching activities aimed at learning skills in various age groups and in various fields.

Prof. Romanazzi

At the end of the course, students will have theoretically acquired the scientific, technical, and methodological skills and knowledge required to work in the field of the teaching motor activity as a whole.

Knowledge and understanding skills.

• Basic knowledge of the fundamental structures that build the human movement
• Identification of the different types of movement and motion generation processes
• Knowledge of basic motor skill and their development up to performance
• Study of motor control and learning processes from a cognitive point of view.

Judgment autonomy

• Study of the movement in space and its interpretation
• Evaluation and interpretation of results in the motor field

Communicative Skills

Use of terminology applied to gymnastic movements

Profssa Cazzoli

The course is structured in 40 hours of practical-theoretical frontal lessons divided into 3 hours per lesson. Laboratory activities, monothematic seminars, deepening activities will be carried out with the assistance of experts in specific areas of human mouvement. Content will be dealt with on the basis of scientific evidence, re-elaboration, personal reflection and media support. Attendance is mandatory.

Frontal lessons and insights on primary sources, 16 hours in classroom and individual study

Prof. Romanazzi

Examination of student preparation will take place by multiple choice test of 30 'duration. The total score (30 points) will be attributed on the number of questions present in the test. The minimum score to pass the test will be 18. An optional oral discussion is provided. The topics discussed will reflect those treated during the course and present in the syllabus so that students can re-elaborate the core concepts and promote their application.
