Training objectives

To learn mechanism of adaptations to acute and chronic exercise of the main component of exercise capacity. To know aspects of general methodology related to the characteristic of exercise testing protocols. To know and evaluate the different components of both health-related and performance-related fitness.
At the end of the class, students will possess the background knowledge on the use of the most important food supplements and ergogenic aids and how they impact on the physical exercise and health.
The aim of the course is to make students aware of benefits coming from a correct assumption of these substances but also of health risks caused by the inappropriate use of them.
