Biological and psychosocial aspects of aging. Elderly and movement : objectives psychosocial, psychomotor and physiological .Operational proposals
* Perception of old age.
* What it means to get older
* How to clasify old age
* Why do we become old: theory of ageing
* Why is it necessary to stay physically active during old age
* Why ageing modifies functions of the main organs and physiological systems: the ears - the sound and equilibrium organ, the eyes – the main external receptor, the skin and other organs- the proprioreceptors, the nervous system, the muscular system, the osteoarticular system, the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system, the digestive and urinary system, the endocrine system.
* Methodological and didactical information refering to all the mentioned systems and also to relative motor
* Modifications induced by motor activities during the ageing process.
* Intensity of proposed activities.
* Indications and contraindications of the movement
* The teacher and his/her educative relationship with old people
* Short accounts about psychological conditions and behaviour of old people
* Didactical objectives regarding physiological, psychomotor and psychosocial problematics
* The set-out of lectures and work plan
* Analysis of the work environment and available equipment
* Examples of monothematic lessons with role-play: relaxation, proprioception and the contact – education regarding the correct posture, respiratory coordination and equilibrium – mobility and muscle elongation – muscle reinforcement – a game.
* Suggestion of the complete lesson
