Anatomy Applied to Sport

N/A

The contents will be taught in theoretical sessions with powerpoint slides, videos and anatomical models. Additionally, students will be asked to perform worksheets on specific contents, during and outside the contact hours assigned to this curricular unit. Practical sessions will be taught in laboratory and gym context, namely and respectively for the contents of surface anatomy, regional analysis of osteo-articular apparatus, and analysis of muscle participation in movement. It will be also used the support of the e-learning platform of the school and the referenced documents to study the syllabus contents
Evaluation is continuous or by exam.
For continuous evaluation [100% = 20 values] the following items are considered:
1. Tests and theoretical assessments 55%.
2. Practical and theoretical/practical assessments 45%.
The exam consists of a theoretical test (100%).The teaching methodologies will focus on the presentation of theoretical content in various forms: orally, using video and multimedia projectors. The hours provided for this component focus on the exposure of content related to anatomical and functional knowledge of various systems and apparatus under study. The theoretical-practical component is based on the deepening and application of the theoretical contents taught, based mainly on the surface anatomy and on the analysis and study of muscle participation in movement, work that results from the exploration of anatomical models and specific exercises analysed together, in laboratory and gym context. The autonomous work of the students complements and consolidates the information provided in class. Thus, it is expected that this work focuses mainly on the study of theoretical content, which requires the reading of texts and books on the specialty both before and after class. However, the living and experience of the movements analysed in class will also be useful for the understanding of the theoretical and theoretical-practical component of the course. Privileging the knowledge of the structures and systems of the human body related to locomotion, the contact with several sources of information and the experimentation of several learning forms, in different contexts, will provide to the student the possibility of acquiring the necessary and fundamental knowledge for his/her professional future.

1. To know the composition, morphology and functions of organites, cells, tissues, organs and systems associated to the human motor activity.
2. To understand the dynamics of interaction of the different body structures in the postural and motor behaviours
3. To differentiate of types of movements depending on the level of motor control.
4. To know the types of muscle participation and articular structures associated with certain postures or movements.

1. General organization of the human body: anatomical position of reference, planes, cell structure and functioning; cellular transport processes; connective tissue of the locomotor apparatus; Surface Anatomy.
2. Analysis of the osteo-articular system: histological characterization of the bone tissue; Fundaments of Arthrology; regional analysis of the osteo-articular system.
3. Myology: Muscle structure and functioning; muscular anatomy; analysis of muscle participation in movement.
4. Nervous system: Nervous tissue structural organization and functioning; Neuromuscular system.
5. Cardiocirculatory system: structure and function of the heart and blood vessels; electrical activity of the heart; heart regulation mechanisms.
6. Respiratory apparatus: ventilatory structure and function.
