Università degli Studi di Roma "Tor Vergata"

The course of private law of sport has as its subject the fundamental principles regulating Italian private law of sport, whit particular reference to the sporting system.
The course aims at providing the students, through the examination of the relevant legislation and the most significant case law and commentaries of this matter, with knowledge of the issues inherent to the sporting system, the persons which are part of it, the contractual framework, the civil liability in relation to sport activity.
The course will particularly focus on the examination of the relevant employment contract and the principles of the civil liability applicable to the world of sport, also with reference to the civil liability of the doctor and to doping. The course also aims at providing the students with the basic principles regulating the functioning of the sporting system jurisdictio.

The course aims at teaching to the student the core of ethics: the Respect of Personhood. Since the time of Hippocrates to the UNESCO Declaration of Bioethics approved in 2005, the Respect of Personhood has been the focus point of any relationship but with a reinforced attention to patients. Indeed, curing someone implies necessarily curing a vulnerable person since a sick person is always 'under attack'
(Latin meaning of the word 'vulnerare'). Still, the fragility of a patient is not to be identified with the vulnerability of the sick body. The Respect of Personhood is to take into account all together the body and the mind of the patient.

This course is designed to present an integrated, principle based, and problem solving approach to the quantitative analysis of human movement. At the end of the course, the student will be able to: explain and quantify displacement, velocity, acceleration, force, torque, impulse, work, and power as related to segmental and whole body linear and angular movements, understand the physical basis for sport technique and health-related applications.

The aim of the course is introducing the theoretical and methodological foundation of the observative and experimental research in the educative field, with health-related applications.

Developmental psychology focuses on the development of individuals across their lifespan within the context of family, peer groups, child-care and after-school programs, schools, neighborhoods, and larger communities and society. It considers the well-being of children, youth, and adults in the cognitive, emotional, social, academic, and health domains.
The aim of the course is to explore the development of individuals in relation to the promotion of wellness and health. Particular attention will be paid to the role of physical activity in child development and in education.

Ethics and responsibility in social communication
The central theme of the course is the ethics of communication in health care organizations (public, private and third sector) with particular reference to the narratives of organizations (storytelling, metaphor), organizational empowerment, methods of active listening (open space technology, action planning) and the tools of Web 2.0

The course will provide basic information in pharmacology, integrating the basic science with applications in sport and health promotion. Besides giving general principles on the way of drugs enter the body (i.e. their absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion), and on the mechanisms of drug action the course will focus on how drugs affect physical activities and how exercise can change the effects of drugs. Special emphasis will be given to drugs used to enhance the performance of athletes, to drug abuse, to physical and psychological dependence. Drug interaction and variability of responses to drugs among healthy individuals or in patients with different pathological conditions.

Movement neurophysiology and physical exercise.
The course will provide deeper knowledge on movement and exercise physiology. In particular the course will examine topics concerning the neural processes underlying the control of movement and the acquisition of novel motor skills. The course is subdivided further in two sections: the first will examine in detail sensory processing in the somatosensory and visual systems, the main sensory channels contributing to the motor control processes; the second section will deal with the complexity of the central physiological mechanisms which govern movement planning and execution, by examining the control of basic motor functions such as locomotion, balance, oculomotor control and voluntary action and the functional features of the CNS structures which subtend these processes (spinal circuitry, cerebellum, brainstem nuclei, basal ganglia and cerebral cortex). This latter section will also dwell on the physiological mechanisms of motor skill learning and decision-making.

The aim of the course is to introduce the students to the basic principles of the experimental approach used in modern laboratories in the biomedical field. The course will be divided in two parts. The topics of the first part will cover an overall analysis of the research process, from finding a research hypothesis and defining a suitable topic to perform literature surveys using available med lines. The students will learn how to conduct the research to test the hypothesis and how to select different research methods and experimental models. A number of examples known form the literature will be analyzed.
The second part of the course will provide insights on the laboratory techniques that are recommended for the analysis of a biomedical research project. These will include the more common biochemical and immunological methods and a description of the most used cellular and animal models.

The aim of the Clinical Pathology course is to give students biomedic basis knowledge on the general concept of "pathophysiological mechanism." Added to this is the knowledge of the essential tools to identify a "state of health" or to monitor the "health" through some blood tests. In fact, only through the doses of certain substances normally present in the blood, the results of which give us an idea of how certain physiological mechanisms, students have the possibility to modulate the physical activity programs adapted to each individual in a personal way.

Students will have an understanding of nutrition basics and what foods provide necessary for
caloric nutrients and vitamins and minerals. Principles of basic nutrition and how dietary choices
can contribute to the healthy and wellness of all specific types of people. A thorough understanding
of the human body and how it reflects nutrition, including the digestion, absorption, and
metabolizing of foods, physiology, anatomy, biology and the compounds of nutritional substances.
A work-study program that begins a transition from academia to professional practice in any of the
chosen specific fields among nutrition and health care.
