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.
