Training objectives
- The physiology and pathology of the upper respiratory tract constitute a wealth of useful skills not only from a cultural point of view to graduates in Motor Sciences.
The course has the main purpose of promoting the acquisition of notions of respiratory culture in relation to physical exercise and sports activity.
The goal is to bring practical and scientific knowledge to the students' knowledge
feasible to improve the knowledge especially in the management of 'Border Symptoms' (Otalgia, Pharyngodynia, Odinophagy, Instability and Vertigo), promoting the psycho-physical well-being of athletes affected or not by respiratory diseases. Prerequisites
- Notions of anatomy and physiology of the cervico-facial area with particular reference to the upper respiratory tract
