Acquire knowledge and understanding on the following points:
knowledge of the principles of Adapted Physical Activity and Exercise
therapy and health effects. The course also aims at acquisition
suitable tools to program the AFA and exercise therapy and a
evaluate their effects with particular attention to populations with
chronic diseases and in the elderly. In particular: know and
understand the characteristics of AFA and exercise therapy and
bio-molecular effects on the regulation of intermediate metabolism,
osteo-articular growth, as well as on the beneficial effects in
prevention and management of tumor pathologies. The student will acquire
the methodologies validated in the scientific literature for evaluation
fitness and fitness (in relation to health) and in particular
populations at risk, cancer patients, the elderly (Knowledge and ability to
understanding); particular attention to fragile populations (Knowledge
and understanding skills applied); acquire and deepen the
scientific language appropriate to one's professional environment e
