Respiratory Training and Functional Postures for Technical Sports Skills
A.Y. 2020/2021
Learning objectives
The course explores, analyzes, and practices respiratory movement and related postures; the role of breathing and posture in learning motor skills and physical activity in general.
Expected learning outcomes
Students will acquire the ability to promote correct respiratory and postural dynamics that improve adaptation to the complexity of sports skills and situations.
Lesson period: year
Assessment methods: Esame
Assessment result: voto verbalizzato in trentesimi

If the emergency phase does not allow the provision of face-to-face teaching style adoption, the lessons will be held in a synchronous mode through the on-line platform Microsoft Teams and they will follow the same timetable as previously assigned.
The didactic material (slides showed during lessons) will be available on Ariel platform. The course program and the didactic material will not change.
The exam will be held in oral form and will be based on three questions regarding the topics covered during the course, using the on line platform Microsoft Teams or, if the pandemic rules will allow, the exam will be in presence in a practical form.
The exam will aim to verify student's knowledge and comprehension abilities. It will be also verified the language competency and the exposure skills.
