Training objectives
- The course aims to transmit to the student the theoretical / practical knowledge of the most important individual Olympic sports; for each discipline the following aspects are analyzed: short history; characteristics of the discipline; highlight of coaching metods of the main physical actions; rules and competitions.
The sports object of the practical lessons (Artistic Gymnastics, Athletics, Swimming) is designed to provide the student with the technical foundations, basic teaching techniques and ability to organize training sessions. Due to the vast field of motor skills involved in the practice of these three basic sports, students can easily transfer the acquired knowledge to most many other sports only theoretically analyzed: swimming will provide the foundation for all other water disciplines. Athletics will provide the foundation for the development and training of the “conditional motor capacities” (strength, endurance, speed) and gymnastics will provide the basis for “coordination skills” and joint mobility training. Prerequisites
- none

(15 questions for 30/30 in total)
B) Final ORALE trial (optional for writing)
The final vote in 30/30 is calculated by evaluating the different disciplines.
Each teacher performs a short exam for each candidate. In order to pass the exam you need to get enough in each discipline.
If you do not pass the exam, the outcome of the individual disciplines where you have obtained the sufficiency remains valid for subsequent appeals; you only need to repeat the oral exam for insufficient discipline.
