Applied Neuroscience to Physical Activity from Development to Aging

The course aims to provide students with:
·Knowledge of the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying cognitive processes and learning, and their development across the lifespan in individuals with and without cognitive impairments.
·an understanding of the relationship between cognitive processes and motor system and how physical activity can influence and enhance these processes.
·skills to design physical activity programs aimed at promoting cognitive processes across the lifespan.

Students will be able to design and manage physical activity programs aimed at improving cognitive functions across the lifespan in individuals with and without cognitive impairments.
