99694 - T.T. Adapted Physical Exercise

Learning outcomes

Adapted Physical Exercise (EFA) can be defined as the regular and constant practice of a motor activity, in which parameters such as: intensity, duration, frequency and specificity are evaluated, programmed, established and dosed. This administration must be carried out, as a rule and in particular cases, through collaboration with various professionals in the healthcare sector. The concept of EFA represents the overcoming of traditional "training", at the basis of which, however, key notions and principles, deriving from the training methodology, persist. The general criterion is to take care of people who present risk factors and suffer from pathological conditions. Such people can benefit from correctly prescribed and controlled physical exercise. Furthermore, the objective is to experiment with prevention and treatment programmes, based on physical exercise, preparing the organizational methods within which both the prescription of physical activity takes place, personalized on the characteristics of the individual, and the administration through paths that guarantee the achievement and maintenance of the prescribed activity levels over time. At the end of the course, the student: - has skills on the primary function that adapted physical exercise plays in the context of a sedentary lifestyle and the aging process, in particular on the progressive decrease in the individual's physical adaptation and performance capabilities; - knows the therapeutic function of physical activity and its specializations, through the analysis of specific themes, in improving a lifestyle related to cardiovascular, respiratory and metabolic diseases. He is able to identify and differentiate the moments of prevention and compensation and to apply teaching methodologies also suitable for age and to transfer his knowledge into the application field and therefore to develop an individualized work protocol. These topics are developed in order to involve competent professionals in different clinical sectors and with research tools.
