Team Sports: Training Theory and Methodology
A.Y. 2020/2021
Learning objectives
The course provides a solid theoretical-scientific and technical-methodological foundation in the physical preparation of team sports for adults and young persons, with special attention to football.
Expected learning outcomes
Students will acquire knowledge in the physiological and performance model for team sports and methodological skills in: 1) development of motor skills in youth; 2) conduct, control, and planning of physical training programs in adults and youth engaged in teams sports at diverse levels.
Lesson period: Second semester
Assessment methods: Esame
Assessment result: voto verbalizzato in trentesimi
