Scienze delle Attività Motorie e Sportive L-22 - Asti

The course try to provide the students the knowledge necessary for the structuring of skills, in the field of Motor Sciences, related to the basics of movement. The use of the specific terminology of Physical Activity and Sports Sciences, organization, structuring and conducting of the exercise will contribute to the construction of the future professional of the movement. The contents of the course are also intended to provide students with the knowledge and skills to independently conduct, manage and evaluate individual and group motor activities of a compensatory, adaptive, educational, recreational, and sports nature, aimed at maintaining well-being psycho-physical through the promotion of active lifestyles throughout the individual life cycle.

At the end of the course the student will be able to:

• master the specific language of Physical Activity and Sports Sciences
• know the postural patterns;
• know the phases of development of basic schemes;
• knowing and recognizing the coordination skills;
• use qualitative and quantitative instruments;
• programming moments of phy activity in relation the different phases of life;
• conducting motor activity in its different phases;
• organize paths and circuits gymnastics;
• use the game for consolidate and implement motor skills.
• develop a good capacity for understanding and evaluate the proposed physical exercises and potential differences of effect taking into account the specificity of gender, age and psycho-physical condition of the practitioner even in group situations.
• apply the basic knowledge and understanding of motor and sports sciences described above in their professional activity.

The teaching consists of practical theoretical lessons, lectures and group activities in line with the objectives and the expected learning outcomes. Attendance is mandatory for 66% of total hours of teaching (50h).

The assessment of learning consists of related theoretical and practical tests to the goals of the course and the expected learning.
Exercises will be carried out during the year relating:

a. Written essay questions test about Gymnastic Nomenclature, motor program theory, skill learning principles in sports, abilities and skills, warm-up.
b. Practical verification of a programmation and conduction of the activity. The indicators to be evaluated will be the following: setting of the space in relation to the participants, clarity and punctuality of deliveries, appropriate use of gymnastic terminology during instructions and corrections of motor tasks, management of the group (proxemics and demonstrations), progressiveness of the intensity and complexity of the proposal.

The vote will be expressed in thirtieths, as the average of the written essay and the practical verification.
