NUTRITION SCIENCE IN SPORTS ACTIVITY
Mathematical, physics, statistic, chemical, biology genetics, anatomy and biochemistry knowledge
The course aims to offer students the opportunity to get closer to human physiology discovering all its possible applications in sports. A man athlete studied as a 'machine' capable of transforming chemical energy into mechanics, a complex system of coordinated organs that can improve performance with training.
The student should learn from the anatomical and functional point of view the main organs and apparatus. Specifically, their adaptive ability lasts for different types of motor activity.
Usuality of motor activity in general, if administered with frequency and correct loads, is to be therapy and prevention of various pathologies of great social impact
Acquire theoretical and practical knowledge about applied physiology, that is, the benefits and training-induced adaptations, both in terms of proper physical exercise activity for well -being and health, suitable motor activity and sport performance.
Want make acquire theoretical and practical knowledge about Exercise Therapy, Exercise Prescription and administration.
Want make acquire acquire practical theoretical knowledge on different nutrients, how to balance them to promote homeostasis and well-being, and how to distribute them in relation to sporting activities, timetables, and periodization of training.
Want make acquire acquire basic knowledge on integration and anti-doping legislation.
