Learning outcomes
Knowledge
The student who successfully completes the course will have the ability to comprehend general concepts of plasticity related to adaptation to motor activity. This is intended as plasticity occurring within central and peripheral nervous system, bones joints and muscles. The student will be able to demonstrate a solid knowledge of the anatomical and functional changes induced by motor activity within specific organs; The student will be aware of the structures of the human body which undergo the most prominent changes following motor activity.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
- The student will be assessed on his/her demonstrated ability to discuss the main course contents using the appropriate terminology. - During the oral exam the student must be able to demonstrate his/her knowledge of the course material with propriety of expression. - The student's ability to explain correctly the main topics presented during the course will be assessed.
