B016804 - THEORY, TECHNIQUE, AND DIDACTICS OF MOTOR, PREVENTIVE, AND COMPENSATORY EDUCATION AND ADAPTED SPORTS

Italian. Supplementary didactic provision in English or French for Erasmus students or for those not in possession of suitable knowledge of Italian.

Theory and Didactic of Adapted Sports Activity considers people with motor, intellectual, sensory disabilities from the perspectives of physical education, human development, motor behavior and learning, biomechanics, exercise and sport physiology.
Theory and Didactics of Preventive and Compensatory Movement: morphofunctional examination. Para-dysmorphisms of the spine and foot alterations and their kinesiological treatment.

TEACHING MATERIALS
The "Educational Material" is delivered directly by the teacher to the student representatives as presentations of the topics covered during the lectures.

RECOMMENDED IN-DEPTH READINGS
The "Recommended in-depth Readings" are also delivered directly by the teacher to the student representatives in the form of reproductions of selected book chapters from advisable texts, scientific papers whose contents have been illustrated (even briefly) during the lectures , possibly as multimedia content of an elucidating nature.

Adapted Sports Activity
The course aims at the acquisition of knowledge preparatory to the understanding and utilization of the movement. In particular, the course will teach attending students about the physiological processes underlying human movement and the anatomical-functional organization of the neural systems involved in its execution, as well as analyzing the functioning of the different organs and apparatuses during adapted motor and sports activities.
The main developmental disorders and the motor control system will be described, together with the more frequent paramorphisms and disruptions of the musculoskeletal system. Finally, the fundamentals of the main adapted sports disciplines and the bases for which music can be applied during adapted motor and sports activity will be illustrated.

Preventive and Compensatory Movement
Learning of investigation methods that determine the interventions of various kinds to be implemented in order to set up an adequate and individualized motor program.
Learning of the theory, methodology and teaching of postural control and movement aiming at the prevention and compensation of morphological alterations and diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
Learning the rules of behavioral education in work and in normal activities̀.
Learning of the theoretical and practical bases to work in postural rebalancing and back pain of mechanical origin in developmental, adult and old individuals.

None.

Lectures, possible seminar meetings.

There are no program differences for non-attending students.

Adapted Sports Activity
The final evaluation takes into account the constant participation of the student at all stages of the training process.
The moment of formal verification is represented by the individual interview that takes place directly with the teacher.
It is evaluated, in particular:
- the learning of the basic theoretical concepts expressed in the teaching material produced during the course,
- the learning of the concepts provided in frontal or seminar form,
- the development of the critical sense and the ability to observe, describe and represent the contents of the course and their expressions,
- the degree of awareness of the personal role in the design a process through movement.

Preventive and Compensatory Movement
The moment of formal verification is represented by a written test.
