Learning objectives

Students are expected to know how laboratory data contribute to the characterization of overtraining-dependent tissue damage and of the effects of exercise in diabetic patients

Prerequisites

Adequate bases of biology, anatomy, biochemistry and physiology

Course unit content

Besides the proper recalls of general pathology and immunology, lectures will
concern overtraining-dependent tissue damages and immunodeficiency and the role of exercise in the diabetic patient,
together with the role of laboratory in the monitoring of these conditions.
