Learning objectives
Knowledge and understanding
At the end of the course the student knows the technical characteristics of the exercises and training. The student will be also capable of processing assessment test to determine the characteristics of the healthy lifestyle. The goal of the course is to define the concept of exercise prescription. Similarly to the prescription of a drug, even for the prescription of the exercise must be made with a real "recipe" that defines type, intensity, duration and frequency of administration.
Sedentaryism is an independent risk factor, independent of exercise, and is also harmful to those who practice current physical activity recommendations.
Exercise plays a very important role in obesity therapy: behavioral intervention must therefore include three levels: nutritional control (low calorie diet, balanced, varied), daily physical activity control and exercise prescription .
At the end of the course the student knows risks and benefits of prescribing exercise in subjects with diabetes mellitus, hypertension, metabolic syndromes and cardiovascular disease, for prevention and therapy of oncological diseases, sarcopenia and osteopenia in aging.
Applying knowledge and understanding
At the end of the course the student knows risks and benefits of prescribing exercise in subjects with diabetes mellitus, hypertension, metabolic syndromes and cardiovascular disease, for prevention and therapy of oncological diseases, sarcopenia and osteopenia in aging.
Making judgements
At the end of the course the student is able to choose the training methods differentiating the load based on individual performance, sedentaryism, disese specific risk factors, age, therapy.
Communication skills
the student must use technical terminology

Diet and exercise are the predominant part of a healthy and healthy lifestyle even if they do not exhaust the concept. Lifestyles also include substance abuse (smoking, alcohol, street drugs ...), environmental pollution, work or family stress, etc .... . With the term cognitive-behavioral interventions, it refers to strategies that are intended to modify all of this complexity of factors to improve the health of the individual and the population.

The risks and benefits of prescribing exercise in subjects with diabetes mellitus will be studied.
The effect of physical activity on hypertension, metabolic syndromes and cardiovascular risk will be evaluated.
Physical exercise will be studied and prevention and therapy of oncological diseases, prevention and struggle through physical activity of sarcopenia and osteopenia in aging.
