Training objectives

Starting from the knowledge of the physiology of pregnancy, the dynamics of delivery, the biomechanical changes in pregnant women, students will be able to structure specific tests and to address the woman to the choice of appropriate exercises. Students will be able to formulate a program of physical activity based on the characteristics of women and to verify its effectiveness
At the end of the course the student will be able to know:
contribution of the lung to physical exercise and the responses of the respiratory system in special environments (high altitude and underwater);
the pathophysiological characteristics of the various lung diseases and the methods for assessing exercise capacity; to understand data from spirometry, exercise test and saturation monitoring.
He will be able to suggest the correct approach to exercise at altitude.
He will also be able to administer the walking test and other functional assessment tests on his own. Based on this information, he will then be able to develop and implement a re-training program for exercise in various chronic respiratory diseases.
He will also be able to assess the presence of exercise induced asthma and recommend the most suitable sport.

Learning assessment procedures

EXERCISE DURING PREGNANCY
Written exam with one or more open-ended questions for a space of about 10-12 lines.
UNIT: LUNG and EXERCISE IN PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PATHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS
Exam at the end of the course.
Written test with 31 multiple-choice questions.
They will focus on all the topics of the course.
Time for the test: 60 minutes
Right answer: 1 mark
Wrong or unanswered: 0 mark.

THE EVALUATION OF THE INTEGRATED COURSE IS GIVEN BY THE WEIGHTED AVERAGE OF THE MARKS RETURNED IN EACH PARTIAL TEST.
