FISIOLOGIA DEGLI ORGANI DI MOVIMENTO E FISIOLOGIA APPLICATA ALLO SPORT
- Skeletal muscle: structure and function. Muscle action. Neural control of human movement.
- Energy for physical activity: phosphate-creatine. The lactic acid system. The aerobic system (maximal oxygen consumption and kinetics of oxygen uptake at the onset of exercise). Focus on myopathy.
- Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins. Vitamins, minerals and water. Best nutrition during exercise.
- Oxygen transport and utilization: Fick’s equation. Pulmonary ventilation during exercise. Kidney, acid base balance, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Cardiovascular system during exercise.
- Upper body exercise.
- High altitude. Diving: physiology and physiopathology.

SPORT’S MEDICINE
Training methodology: adaptations, sport loads with their principles, physiologic training adaptations (aerobic, anaerobic, anabolic).
Sports physiology: apparatus adaptations at the training loads.
Traumatology: acute and chronic trauma and their treatment.
Auxology : sensible years, development factors.
Neurophysiology: movement learning, logical movement aspects.
Basic life support: algorithms, intensive care maneuvrer.
Doping: methods and doping substances, indications and contraindications.
