Learning objectives
At the end of the GENERAL PHARMACOLOGY course the student will be able to:
1. KNOW AND UNDERSTAND the principles regulating the interactions of drugs with the body and the fundamental aspects connected with the use of some drugs of more specific interest, with particular reference to the classes most frequently used in motor and sports environments (knowledge and understanding)
2. USE THE KNOWLEDGE AND THE UNDERSTANDING acquired, in order to propose the use of certain classes of drugs for the treatment of specific pathologies (ability to apply knowledge and understanding)
3. CORRECTLY AND CRITICALLY INTERPRET the biological and undesirable effects of the drugs considered (independent judgment)
4. DEVELOP SKILLS AND METHODOLOGIES that allow to study in a highly autonomous way (learning ability)
5. POSSESS THE ABILITY TO SYNTHESIZE information and communicate it effectively and with the appropriate language (communication skills)
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of human anatomy and physiology
Course unit content
The first part of the course concerns the principles regulating the interactions of drugs with the body, from the point of view of both pharmacokinetics and its phases (absorption, metabolism, distribution and elimination) and pharmacodynamics (mechanism of action). The second part deals with the knowledge of the fundamental aspects associated with the use of specific drugs, with particular reference to some of the classes most frequently used in motor and sports environments.

Teaching methods
The teaching is carried out through class lectures. If the pandemic emergency persist, the lectures, as far as possible, will be held in the classroom in the presence of a limited number of students but will also be accessible remotely in synchronous mode (streaming on the Teams platform)
The slides used to support the lessons, considered an integral part of the teaching material, will be uploaded on a weekly basis on the Elly platform
Assessment methods and criteria
The verification of the achievement of the objectives planned by the course takes place through AN ORAL EXAM. If it should be necessary to take the exams remotely, the oral question will be conducted using the Teams platform. The final evaluation is communicated immediately at the end of the test and averaged with that obtained in the other modules of the Course of Diagnostics Applied to Motor Sciences
Rating scale: 0-30
Weights and evaluation criteria:
1) Acquired knowledge (up to 15/30);
2) Ability to apply the knowledge acquired and to make connections between the topics covered (up to 10/30);
3) Exhibition capacity through the use of the specific language of the discipline (up to 5/30).
